I think it stopped working around 2.6.3. The root problem is the Legacy USB support of bios (I can't unset that option on my laptop Vaio GR7/k). Some code that worked around the problem has been removed from vanilla kernels. Now with 2.6.7 I'm able to get my usb mouse and touchpad working together, being the usb mouse connected at boot or not, but loading modules in the correct order. I suppose the kernel people found a better way to deal with the Legacy USB support :)
