The kludge currently exists (not only for X, but also for svgalib and
GPM and other applications that may want to access a mouse directly),
and is available on /dev/input/mice, char 13:63. It's a PS/2 style mouse
device that's always present and sums input from all USB mice.
It should be noted that this indeed *is* a kludge and that I hope that
it'll be possible to throw it away in the future.

As far as I know there is none. However, I believe that X shouldn't care
about the USB bus here, but about the input devices themselves. If there
is anyone I should talk to when designing the Input device interface
from the X team, I'd love to.
