Use 
            Option          "overridevalidatemode"
#optional   Option          "strangelockups"        "false"
in your "Device" section in the config (Xfree or xorg)

It's hotplug (but it's replaced by udev nowadays).

Never tried usb on my 110ct.

No, I can work four hours, even in africa at 40 degrees celsius and
overclocked to 266MHz.

It "should" switch off itself if it's getting too hot.
