Simply add the following lines to /etc/modules:

  usbmouse
  mousedev

When you boot with the mouse plugged in, hotplug automatically loads
those modules.  When you boot without the mouse, XFree86 fails to open
/dev/input/mice because the driver is not present.

Just in case I missed something, my /etc/modules also contain
  uhci
  input
  usbkbd
  keybdev
  usbmouse
  mousedev

I once asked an older coworker and Solaris guru what happened with the
Unix-haters list. He told me that it stopped being quite so funny once Wind=
ows
NT came along.
