I have the same problem but with a ps/2 mouse. Restarting dbus and hald from within an xterm is a workable workaround. Since I'm using fluxbox, I start an xterm in ~/.xinitrc in the background to get a terminal before exec-ing fluxbox. Luckily, this xterm has already the focus. This is the relevant part of /var/log/Xorg.0.log regarding the mouse: (II) config/hal: Adding input device PS/2 Mouse (II) LoadModule: "mouse" (II) Loading /usr/local/lib/xorg/modules/input/mouse_drv.so (II) Module mouse: vendor="X.Org Foundation" compiled for 1.7.7, module version = 1.7.1 Module class: X.Org XInput Driver ABI class: X.Org XInput driver, version 7.0 (WW) PS/2 Mouse: No Device specified, looking for one... (II) PS/2 Mouse: Setting Device option to "/dev/psm0" (--) PS/2 Mouse: Device: "/dev/psm0" (==) PS/2 Mouse: Protocol: "Auto" (**) PS/2 Mouse: always reports core events (**) Option "Device" "/dev/psm0" (EE) xf86OpenSerial: Cannot open device /dev/psm0 Device busy.

Why does it try to open /dev/psm0? I hope this problem will get fixed soon. ;-) Thanks for the good workaround.
