I looked into this yesterday and I found out that the mouse works with *hid* driver but it *doesnt* work with *usbmouse*. I deleted the usbomuse.o module and everything works now. I dont have any idea why both usbmouse and hid were loaded on startup given that hid should handle all input. I will try the latest kernel and see if I get the same results.
