Touchpad and tablet both?

Hi crew .. not strictly only -mobile, hope this is ok here?

I've borrowed a Wacom ET-0405A-U USB Tablet for a test on my Compaq
Armada 1500c running 4.5-RELEASE.  As per 'Multiple Mice' in moused(8) I
hoped to be able to plug in, use then unplug the tablet at will, without
having to reboot, and preferably without having to restart KDE, but I'd
suffer that.  Have spent hours boning up in handbook, faq, articles .. 

Plugging in looks good:

Sep 29 00:11:38 paqi /kernel: ums0: WACOM ET-0405A-UV2.0-3, rev 1.10/2.03, addr 2, iclass 3/1
Sep 29 00:11:38 paqi /kernel: ums0: 3 buttons and Z dir.

paqi# ps axw | grep mouse
  125  ??  Ss    13:18.26 moused -3 -p /dev/psm0 -t auto
12861  ??  Is     0:00.00 /usr/sbin/moused -p /dev/ums0 -I /var/run/moused.ums0.pid

Updated /etc/XF86Config from what's worked all along, as advised:

Section "Pointer"
   Device          "/dev/sysmouse"
   Protocol        "Auto"
#   Protocol        "SysMouse"
#   Device          "/dev/mouse"
   BaudRate        1200
   Emulate3Timeout 50
   Resolution      100
   Emulate3Buttons
EndSection

stopped and restarted X (KDE 2.2) but still no sign of the tablet doing
anything at all, in X or in a VT.  Tried kill -HUP on both mouseds ..

The normal trackpad mouse keeps working fine as usual.  No response from
the tablet, though it lights up ok, flashes with wand contact & clicks.

Unplugging:

Sep 29 01:04:39 paqi /kernel: ums0: at uhub0 port 1 (addr 2) disconnected
Sep 29 01:04:39 paqi /kernel: ums0: detached
Sep 29 01:04:39 paqi moused: unable to open /dev/ums0: Device not configured

I gather from usbd.conf that the complaint by moused is to be expected.

What am I missing here?

TIA, Ian
