Has anyone got any experience using a Mac mini with the USB hub built in to the Dell 2005FPW 20" Widescreen TFT monitor?

My mini refuses to detect the hub on first startup. I have to unplug and replug the monitor USB cable in order for the mini to see it (+ all the attached USB devices). This is definately not an issue with the cable being loose, and it happens consistently - every time I power off the mini, I have to go through the process again. The cable is not disturbed or moved in anyway.

I'll also add that the USB hub on the monitor works flawlessly with my Windows box. I'm running Mac OS X 10.4.4.

Any ideas?

Cheers,
Dan
