I'm not sure what it is, but something's really rotten with the way that my devices are being handled. moused starts up properly at boot (can force cursor to dance around the screen at will), and then moused's dying mysteriously without anything being printed out to the console or dmesg. Furthermore, from what I've seen usb devices aren't being detected properly (no debug printouts to the console if devices attach or detach). Also, I just plugged in my firewire iPod to see if it's just a USB thing, and my system isn't detecting the device at all.

Could this maybe be a GCC thing (illegal instructions, etc?). Does devd have a logfile that it sends its info to?
