If the module isn't in use you can try with "rmmod module-name", to
avoid the automatic loading of some module, if you are sure they are
not necessary, you can put their names in the /etc/hotplug blacklist.

You probably need the "mousedev" and "psmouse" modules loaded. If
hotplug don't load them automatically, try manually with modprobe.
