A few days ago I posted a problem with testing beta4 where a Genius KYE wheelemouse behaved strangely under X even though the same mice work fine with other Debians and even the same machine with Knoppix for example.
It is for a rack machine where the idea is that a USB keyboard/mouse will be plugged in as and when and not when the thing boots. I suspected my problems were to do with the kernel modules and was right, sort of. I can get the mouse to behave properly by reloading mousedev and usbmouse when in a console (the script uses chvt to accomplish this otherwise the things won't unload) window before restarting X. But X does then need restarting (CTRL-ALT-BSP) rather than switching back to it. Then the USB mouse/mice can be (un)plugged anytime and everything behaves. But as far as I can tell it's no good just loading the modules before X starts for the first time if a USB mouse hasn't yet been plugged in. Arggh.
