Binary package hint: xorg
Well, as in Ubuntu Gutsy, there is no support for xinput hotplug.
I can't find an existing bug number to track this issue.

We'll use this bug as the master for the input-hotplug feature implementation.
We evaluated input hotplug during Hardy development but found it was not sufficiently mature for use. Upstream also feels input-hotplug needs a lot more work to get it ready for widespread use. We hope to see it ready for Intrepid but we'll have to see.
