ROCCAT Kone USB mouse locked up by libgphoto

[moormaster]

libgphoto2-2 (2.4.2-0ubuntu4)

Whenever I connect my Creative Zen to the PC (on Ubuntu Jaunty) it gets mounted as a digital audio device by gphoto2. This mount always causes my USB mouse to lock up; I need to reconnect my mouse again to unlock it then. Maybe the gphoto2 driver probes every usb device if it is a camera/digital audio player/... ? I

Maybe there is a way to exclude the mouse from being accessed by gphoto2?

I experience exactly the same bad behaviour whenever I plug in my iPod Touch - an I've got exactly the same mouse. I'ts always the same regardless of which usb port the mouse and / or the iPod is plugged in. I plug in the iPod and the mouse gets completely locked up.

Which kind of additional debug information is needed to figure out what's wrong here?
