I'll let you OS guys sort that out with moused first :-). We have an X server extension that allows a pointer device to be reopened (and reconfigured) This was intended mainly for use by configuration tools, but it could be used by some daemon to tell the X server to reopen the mouse, and maybe change its parameters. It might turn out that it is easier to handle this solely within moused, and just configure the X server to use moused. We'll keep this sort of thing in mind as we rework the input device handling for XFree86 4.0.
