Erik,

Have you tried using "/dev/input/mice" and a single pointer section in
your X config?  It is what I do with my laptop, and with that device,
the kernel merges all pointer devices on the system into a common
device.   Adding and removing devices works exactly like you would
expect it to, and the device "exists" even if there is no mouse
connected when you boot.  It would definitely eliminate your 1st and 3rd
problems above.

Hopefully it would also allow everything else to work...
