Okay,

so here's the story so far.

If I cold boot into Linux it doesn't work.
If I cold boot into WinXP then reboot into Linux it doesn't work.
If I cold boot into WinXP, - USE XP for a while - then reboot it does 
work.

Below are the lsusb with the mouse working and without.  Looks like thw 
whole hub's missing in the first one as the Epson and joystick are also 
missing.

The mouse is a Genius Netscroll Traveller USB ballless mouse. When 
booting into Linux (even when it ultimately doesn't work) it flashes 
are suitable points, such as on initial turn-on, after kernel load, 
during device init routines, during service start where it includes:

Starting USB Keyboard [OK]
Starting USB Mouse [OK]
