illumos gate

Occasionally, if a USB mouse is disconnected after the X server has started, and reconnected, the it no longer appears in the HAL device list (and hence is not recognised by X). I've only seen this in oi_151 for some reason.

Restarting HAL did not help. However, disconnecting and reconnecting the hub the mouse was physically connected to fixes the problem.
