You can install hotplug to handle usb if things come and go or add the
relevant modules to /etc/modules.
You also need to add another mouse for X using the /dev/input/mice
device. If its not always connected (laptop) you should setup gpm for
it and use /dev/gpmdata for X, that way a running X will be able to use
a newly connected mouse (with /dev/input/mice you will need to restart
X).
