and after plugging the HD in.

Title:
  USB HD used as pointer input dev

Status in “udev” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-input-evdev

  Natty, 2.6.38-8-generic-pae #42-Ubuntu SMP Mon Apr 11 05:17:09 UTC 2011 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux
  udev 167-0ubuntu3
  xserver-xorg-input-evdev  1:2.6.0-1ubuntu12

  After starting system, with USB HD plugged in, then I log in and type startx.
  X-windows starts, but mouse (trackball) is not working.

  Note that GPM mouse tracking works fine with or without the USB HD.

  From Xorg.log (working case, without HD plugged in):
