I had the same problem, until I found out that I didn't need usbmouse. Since you use hid, you should use the 'mousedev' module. Registering devices is done at a lower level, so that doesn't say much about the support. Mousedev is the module that handles mouse support for full hid. Usbmouse is a module which handles stripped down mouse support which might or might not work, depending on your mouse. I understand that it is mainly useful for embedded devices. HTH, David -- Hi!
