Now, this may sound stupid but it's working (?) for me. I've got everything 
compiled in, running ck-sources. I've had the same thing with hardware 
sometimes working and sometimes not, after recompiling with what I believe to 
be the same config - also showing usb, hid, even the mouse itself in dmesg. 
Anyway, for the mouse, have you tried plugging it in after everything is 
started? The Gentoo Desktop Configuration Guide says the mouse has to be 
plugged in when xfree86 starts up but it doesn't for me cause I use it as an 
auxillary mouse. Anyway, if I plug it in after the system has already started 
I never have a problem. However, if it's plugged in when the system starts 
up, I usually can't use it unless I plug it into a different USB port and 
then change back again. Weird! I suggest to try the following:

<unplug your mouse>
<boot up>
/etc/init.d/xfs stop
<plug in your mouse>
/etc/init.d/xfs start

Of course, if this does work for you, it's definately not a fix. Just a 
terrible, terrible hack. Let me know if it works or if you do figure out what 
is going on.
