Hmmm thats odd seemed right, I don't have a 2.6 machine here so can test
things out directly. I have been reading
http://kerneltrap.org/node/view/2199 and it seems your out of luck really,
they seem to think everyone wants to use the same profile in x for every
mouse :-(

The only thing I have found is 
http://www.uwsg.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0404.2/0631.html

Which talks about a 2.6 directed access PSAUX device.

http://www.ee.oulu.fi/~tuukkat/rel/psaux-2004-04-19.tar.gz

This kernel patch creates the device. I am not sure if it removes the psaux
device from the input layer so you might want to try it with or without that
previous "patch".

I think your going to have to so some hacking about, or live without
hotplugging.
