I first want to know whether > this is a regression or not. > I have always compiled usbmouse as a module - the problem or regression here was that it was loaded instead of usbhid when both were compiled as modules - but I don't think this is a kernel regression, here is why - The problem happened with Fedora 10 - when I booted into Ubuntu 8.10 with the same kernel compiled with same config, usbhid was correctly loaded and mouse worked. So I would forget this as a Fedora specific issue. Thanks for the pointers.
