Very good hints! In the hotplug user configure file
/etc/default/hotplug.usb X11_USBMICE_HACK is set as false by default.
After it is Changed to true, now everything is cool.
By doing that, the input and mousedev modules get loaded before startx
even when the usb mouse has not been plugged in. And X is fooled to
think the device is there although it is not there yet.
Many thanks to all the replies.
