I am using one mouse device in X, /dev/input/mice and a USB mouse at times. My glidepoint, stick, and USB mouse all work. USB mouse can be unplugged/replugged at any time and still works. This is with 2.5.67, 2.5.68 wants to immediately reboot on me. Have you tried 2.5.67? If not, are you interested in my .config?
