Or to have some way of forcing the driver to check for a mouse after boot time
- like you can tell SCSI controllers to check for new devices.

Or even better, to have the driver automatically notice when a mouse is
plugged in, without intervention from the user at all. P'raps it should scan
for a mouse whenever /dev/psaux is opened when a mouse isn't currently thought
to be attached?
