usb mouse and X Server
If I start my laptop with the USB mouse plugged in I can use the mouse and the IBM track stick. Ican then unplug and re plug the mouse and it will always work, as long as it's plugged in!
If I start the laptop WITHOUT the USB mouse plugged in and then subsequently plug in the mouse I can only ever use the stick, the mouse won't work unless I log out and restart the X Server.
Any suggestions When I subesquently plug in the mouse dmesg contains -
hub.c: new USB device 00:1d.1-2, assigned address 3
usb.c: USB device 3 (vend/prod 0x4b3/0x3107) is not claimed by any active driver.
usb.c: registered new driver hid
input: USB HID v1.00 Mouse [04b3:3107] on usb2:3.0
hid-core.c: v1.8.1 Andreas Gal, Vojtech Pavlik <vojtech@suse.cz>
hid-core.c: USB HID support drivers
mice: PS/2 mouse device common for all mice
Thanks for any suggestions.

Try various USB ports - my laptop with both Mandrake 10 and FC2 would only pick up the mouse while the server was runnig if it was inserted into a specific USB port - still dont know why. Currently under FC4 I'm not using a USB mouse, but the same sort of problem occurs with the battery - I can remove it as much as I like as long as I booted the sysem with the battery in. If the system was booted sans battery, then it wont pick it up. Any suggestions?

USB mouse and ...
Not that I am using a IBM Thinkpad but I am able to start my laptop without having the USB mouse attached during startup and then within X plug it in and have it workin perfectly fine.
Am running Slackware 10.2 with kernel 2.6.13.2
Following xorg.conf
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/mouse"
/MDKDIO (Yes I used to run MDK but gave it up for Slack *eg*)

on my laptop (hp pavilion zv5200) both USB mouse and keyboard work fine together with the integrated touchpad and keyboard but if USB devices are connected when booting up the damn hotplug detection takes about 2 minutes! albeit if there is nothing plugged in the computer boots nicely in around 25 secs.
