I suppose it is, I just wasn't expecting it!

No. They used to work simultaneously.

Instant success! They are now both working simultaneously again.
'psmouse' is not blacklisted so I've still no idea why it stopped being loaded at
boot-time. If I fiigure it out I'll post here.
Re: your set-up, it seems counter-intuitive to me but the following modules are
blacklisted in my set-up and I had, (and now have again), both working no problem.
usb-uhci
usbcore
#these drivers are very simple, the HID drivers are usually preferred
usbmouse
usbkbd
Thanks for your time Derek.
