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.
