Bug Description
My wireless mouse doesn't work after I reboot until I unplug its USB dongle and plug it back in.
I don't see anything in Xorg.0.log which obviously explains this problem. It looks like the mouse is added to the X server configuration on startup without any problems, at least unless I'm misreading the log, and then the second time it's added, when I unplug it and plug it back in, it looks like the same thing happens in the log, but then the mouse works.
This was a problem in 17.04 as well, i.e., it isn't new in 17.10.

This sounds like a kernel problem, and at least very likely not caused by Xorg. So reassigning to the kernel.
