To follow up I got the following from my Xorg.0.log:

(II) Cannot locate a core pointer device.
(II) Cannot locate a core keyboard device.
(II) The server relies on HAL to provide the list of input devices.
        If no devices become available, reconfigure HAL or disable
AllowEmptyInput.

After unplugging and replugging I get the following:

(II) config/hal: Adding input device Microsoft Microsoft Wheel Mouse
Optical?
(**) Microsoft Microsoft Wheel Mouse Optical?: always reports core events
(**) Microsoft Microsoft Wheel Mouse Optical?: Device: "/dev/input/event5"
(II) Microsoft Microsoft Wheel Mouse Optical?: Found 3 mouse buttons
(II) Microsoft Microsoft Wheel Mouse Optical?: Found x and y relative axes
(II) Microsoft Microsoft Wheel Mouse Optical?: Found scroll wheel(s)
(II) Microsoft Microsoft Wheel Mouse Optical?: Configuring as mouse
(**) Microsoft Microsoft Wheel Mouse Optical?: YAxisMapping: buttons 4 and 5
(**) Microsoft Microsoft Wheel Mouse Optical?: EmulateWheelButton: 4,
EmulateWheelInertia: 10, EmulateWheelTimeout: 200
(II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "Microsoft Microsoft Wheel Mouse
Optical?" (type: MOUSE)
(**) Microsoft Microsoft Wheel Mouse Optical?: (accel) keeping acceleration
scheme 1
(**) Microsoft Microsoft Wheel Mouse Optical?: (accel) filter chain
progression: 2.00
(**) Microsoft Microsoft Wheel Mouse Optical?: (accel) filter stage 0: 20.00
ms
(**) Microsoft Microsoft Wheel Mouse Optical?: (accel) set acceleration
profile 0


Could this be more of a HAL issue than an Xorg issue?
