Make sure that you have HID Input support in your kernel,
otherwise,
there won't be a driver for the mouse.  If you intend on
hotplugging the
mouse, make sure you have hotplug installed as well.  Once
you have HID
Input support and hotplug, plugging in the mouse should
result in an
extra /dev/input/mouseX device.  If you don't want to have
to select
between the two, you can specify /dev/input/mice as your
input device
which should take input from all mouse devices.

Take a look at this for the "IN from bad port"

USB mouse; IN from bad port

Thanks, Joe!  I'll check genkernel and get devices set and
unset as you
recommend.

Any idea what device the port 1058 problem is connected
with?

Thanks!
