We run X. The GPS is recorded as part of a measurement in a moving
vehicle, and it can steer location info during data collection.

Maybe the X server is part of my problem. (Of course, I do not want to
rule out anything else.) I remember back when you had to restart X if
you added an input device. If it was not found at X's start, it was not
available. More recently, X finds these devices as they are available.
Which is really nice. Does X ever re-check the serial ports after it
starts? In my use, X is never restarted when this problem occurs.

Or maybe it is something in how /dev/input/mice is implemented. What
does it consider to be a potential mouse?
