The usbmouse and usbkbd modules are not supposed to be used with regular 
USB mice and keyboards. Make them depend on EMBEDDED to prevent them from 
being built and loaded on non-EMBEDDED configs.

So do I get it right that the only reason of the problem you were seeing 
was that in the 2.6.27 kernel you have compiled usbhid module, which was 
then used for driving your mouse,but in 2.6.28-rcX you compiled and used 
'usbmouse' instead, and therefore this is not a regression?

Shouldn't usbmouse support two-dimensional mice as well?
