I've had some interesting stuff happen with usb pointer devices recently too. I found that when I plug them in at runtime, they seem to get swept up by moused via the usb daemon, and wisked away to /dev/sysmouse. What really confused me was that I did not have moused enabled. It took quite a while to even realize that it was running. Naturally, when you want to hook up a mouse and a trackball (the trackball doesn't hurt my hand - I only use the mouse for fine pointer work, like playing NWN), this gets tricky to have them both pulled out =66rom under you to a place you can't really get them without rebooting X. When I rebooted, I got pretty much the same thing you did - everything worked. What I finally did was find the device "Mouse" section in /etc/usbd.conf and comment it all out. This way, the pointers stay accessible at the ums* device, even when plugged in at runtime - the usb daemon leaves them alone for apps (like X) to access there.
