And the winner is.... of course Jerry (don't ask about Tom, though). Here comes the solution:
When ever doing kernel configuration read the <help>.
Sometimes it really <help>s GRRR :-)
Snapshot from the help of "USB Human Interface Device (full HID) support"
CONFIG_USB_HID: .... You can't use this driver and the HIDBP (Boot Protocol) keyboard
and mouse drivers at the same time. More information is available:
<file:Documentation/input/input.txt>. ....
And guess what: I had the standard PS/2 mouse support enabled in the
kernel in parallel (for a couple of years, since I installed Linux for
the first time :-) ).
Thanks for the help and friendly words, guys. :-)

*I* use both right now with Gentoo / PickledOnion Win4Lin 2.6.11-r4.
at comment-prompt before doing 'startx', do (for my mice) :: 'gpm -n /dev/mouse -t ps2 -M -m /dev/input/mice -t brf'; gpm enables both for consoles, *&* becomes the input to X.
And my kernels --do-- know both mice sources, but I don't need HIDBP; YMMV, of course!
hopefully helpful for your presumed preferences, rgh.
