I think you are looking for problems where they dont exist: point your xorg.conf at /dev/input/mice - then all mice end up under the one reference. i.e., plug in a usbmouse and once the modules are loaded, its automatically seen by the xserver.
Keyboards (usb) and the native keyboard (on desktops or laptops) just work - never had to look into how as its always been ok. i945, not so easy, but it can be done. My laptop with a intel display chipset (I think its a 945 or maybe 965 - not with me att) changes resolutions and switches between int/ext or both. Have not tried driving a TV off it - doesnt have a port for it. The tricks in how you setup xorg.conf. That being said, the xorg intel drivers were quite problematic, but the latest at least seems stable. I move between areas where I use 1024x768 into projectors and a MS wireless laptop mouse, desktops with an external LCD monitor (1280x1024), keyboard and dell optical mouse and standalone (1366x768). All devices work as plug/play - no rebooting needed. I use desktop icons calling a script that runns xrandr to set the deisplay resolutions (there is a gnome taskbar applet to it as well) Basicly for your requirements, its just making sure its correctly setup!
