I have investigated more on this question and found in a Knoppix boot in the same machine, that a better solution is to edit /etc/modutils/aliases to add the lines (suggested by Kai Lehmann) alias usbcore off alias usbmouse mousedev alias usbkbd hid
and then including in the file /etc/modules only the additional lines: usbkbd usbmouse with these changes i can use the keyboard an also the usb mouse in the Xfree server without any problem. >From the comments in Knoppix files is seems to be a module names problem in kernels 2.4.
