USB Mouse/Hotplug? trouble

I have a problem with my USB mouse. When I boot up my system it works fine for a while but then it randomly stops working. If I do a /etc/init.d/hotplug restart it starts working again. This happens every 20 minutes or so, too frequently for me to ignore. Here are the messages from the kernel log:

hub.c: already running port 1 disabled by hub (EMI?), re-enabling...
usb.c: USB disconnect on device 2
hub.c: USB new device connect on bus1/1, assigned device number 3
usb_control/bulk_msg: timeout
usb.c: USB device not accepting new address=3 (error=-110)
hub.c: USB new device connect on bus1/1, assigned device number 4
usb_control/bulk_msg: timeout
usb.c: USB device not accepting new address=4 (error=-110)

I am running Gentoo 1.4rc_1 with gcc 3.2 on an Asus A7V system. The mouse is a Microsoft Wheel mouse. Thanks!

do you really need the hotplug module?

I have a "Microsoft IntelliMouse Explorer 3.0 USB and PS/2 Compatible 5V 100mA" and i don't need the hotplug module.

I currently have it connected via the USB port not PS/2 (but previously i used PS/2 until i got USB working).. by they way (in case anybody cares)...the wheel works, and the thumb buttons let me go back/forward in many applications... also, this is a laptop and i have both the trackpoint and usb mouse working at the same time... trackpoint being the master (which makes sense, since if i'm traveling, it is the only mouse i have).

greping /usr/src/linux/.config for USB and MOUSE gives me the following relevent Kernel settings...
