things are getting messy here.
Thanks to everyone that has replied, I greatly appreciate your replies,
however the messages are getting confused.
I have reposted this to try and clear things up a little.
I do not have usb-ohci installed. I am running an Asus laptop with Intel
chipset and using usb-uhci
My lsmod shows:

As you can see only mousedev is using input what have I done wrong??!!

There was a time I actually understood the USB subsystem (two years
ago or so). Now all I do is
- use a stock Debian woody kernel (2.4.18-{k7|686}) in my case)
- apt-get install hotplug
and it all works pretty much by itself. With my USB keyboard and mouse
I see
$ /sbin/lsmod | grep usb
usbkbd 2944 0 (unused)
usbmouse 1792 0 (unused)
input 3424 0 [keybdev usbkbd mousedev hid usbmouse]
usb-uhci 21508 0 (unused)

You don't need usbkdb or usbmouse. For USB mouse and keyboard support
you should have:
usbcore
usb-[ou]hci
input
hid
mousedev
keybdev
