Yes, the input subsystem did change completely; only for the best, I may
say (mouse can now be opened both from the console and from X without
repeating, scroll wheel works out of the box, as do multiple mice...) The
following kernel options should get you going:
  CONFIG_INPUT=y

  CONFIG_INPUT_KEYBOARD=y
  CONFIG_KEYBOARD_ATKBD=y

  CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSE=y

  CONFIG_USB_HID=y
  CONFIG_USB_HIDINPUT=y

You'll probably need to modularize USB later, if you use hotplug, but
that's another issue.
Good luck!
Francesco.
