As mdz has noted, this is a known bug in breezy; but we don't know yet
what's causing it.  Any help you could provide in debugging it would be
grateful, in particular could you answer the following questions.

Does the device appear if you boot _without_ your USB mouse plugged in?

Did you install hoary fresh, or was that an upgrade from warty
originally?

Are you using the stock breezy kernel and modules?
