Fine, but what is the problem. You have a working mouse. You remove
the hotplug package, and the mouse stops working. Not mouse, no X.
Simple.
Why did you remove hotplug? Why not reinstall it?
You still haven't given us any error messages. What does startx give
you when you say "X does not work"?
You don't have to solve this on your own but you have to give us some
details to work with.
