Do you load "hid" in /etc/modules? I have just the USB Wireless
mouse and have to do that. I have no idea _why_ it's necessary,
If I leave it out, hotplug successfully inserts all the correct
modules, but only unplugging the mouse and removing the modules
('rmmod mousedev usbmouse hiddev hid', iirc) and reinserting hid
first, then plugging in the mouse, seemed to fix it.
Failing that, the ritual requires at least the blood of a
cockatrice to go with the more mundane "eye of newt" ...
