I recall either re-plugging the mouse about 6 times or restarting devd about 6 times and it pretty much always came up after enough tries. I think devd wasn't starting moused when the mouse was detected. Its been a long while so that may have gone away after upgrading to 8. I know you are running 8 but it might be worth checking if its devd and if its just from moused not running.
