Bug Description
Binary package hint: xserver-
Natty, 2.6.38-

After starting system, with USB HD plugged in, then I log in and type startx.
X-windows starts, but mouse (trackball) is not working.
Note that GPM mouse tracking works fine with or without the USB HD.
From Xorg.log (working case, without HD plugged in):
