The HID driver supports USB mice and keyboards, so you shouldn't even
be using or loading usbkbd and/or usbmouse unless you are SURE you
know what you are doing and why. Kconfig help text for usbkbd,
usbmouse is similar:
Say Y here only if you are absolutely sure that you don't want
to use the generic HID driver for your USB keyboard and prefer
to use the keyboard in its limited Boot Protocol mode instead.
This is almost certainly not what you want. This is mostly
useful for embedded applications or simple keyboards.
So you need either to disable usbkbd and usbmouse in your kernel
config/build, or (if they are loadable modules) prevent them from
being loaded, either by modifying /etc/modprobe.conf or by removing
or renaming them in /lib/modules/2.6.9/kernel/drivers/usb/input/ .
