the same happened here. 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 :)
