hmmm....
could be getting closer here!
having looked at the outputs of everyones lsmods I have noticed that 
mine looks a bit odd!

as you can see only mousedev is using input!
everyone elses input is being used by at least mousedev & hid/usbmouse.
i presume that this is the reason why my usbmouse is not activated, now 
how do I go about fixing this?

thanks for all  the replies!
