Ryan,
You can remove the autoload of mousedev from /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.4 - but if you want to have your USB mouse working, you're going to have to get that module working.
To get it working, compile the following modules for your kernel:
Input Core Support->Input Core Support Input Core Support->Mouse Support Input Core Support->Event Interface Support USB->Support For USB USB->UHCI (not absolutely sure you need this one) USB->USB Human Interface Support WITH HID Input layer support
and then add these lines to /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.4:
usbcore input mousedev hid uhci
Once you have all that loaded, change your pointer device in /etc/X11/XF86Config to /dev/input/mice and you should be good.
