Plugging in USB mouse while Pi is on - anthonyonions - 5th Apr, 2013 04:26 AM

I don't like to leave the mouse/keyboard/usb hub plugged into the pi as I keep it tucked out of the way. However from time to time I need to actually do something in XMBC with the mouse. Is there anything I can do to make it recognise/pick up the mouse when it is plugged in rather than having to reboot it with it plugged in?

Thanks
Ant

Plugging in a powered hub and connect to that hub. Plugging the mouse directly is to much of a power hickup for our little friend.
