Sorry for the late reply but i was kinda busy
I did the "make menuconfig"
then it asked me to do a "make dep" which i did
I then did a "modprobe usbhid" but without any result, maybe i have to reboot to have it installed

ps : i don't know what happened but i can't launch synaptic anymore, it's telling me it has a problem with pango, do you know how i can fix this?

Code:
modprobe hid

Maybe - try it! You may need some more modules - I have usb-uhci and ehci-hcd too - not sure what they do, but I think you need them to get any USB device to work. Can you post your lsmod?

You have the correct modules loaded.

Do you have /dev/input/mice ?

How does your mouse section look in /etc/X11/XF86Config?

I have the /dev/input/mice
I have to check the XF86Confing-4 file to check where it's pointing
When i do a more /dev/input/mice it doesn't tell me that the device doesn't exist (like for the others files) but i don't get any symbols when i move the mouse
Maybe i should try updating the XF file and then reboot the comp with the mouse on the usb to see if this work

I tied to boot with the /dev/input/mice in the XF86 file but X crashes and tells me that he didn't found the mouse
I really don't know what to do next, i've tried everything you said
Is it because i put the hid and all inside the kernel and not as a module?

Possibly, yes. I have them as modules, and it works fine. Try again but using modules. Remember to update your lilo/grub and reboot, and check that the modules are loaded at boot time. If they do not load automatically, modprobe them manually. Please post the exact error messages, if any.

You seem to be missing ehci-hcd from lsmod, so make sure you have that selected as a module too, and modprobe it.

Under 'Code maturity level options', select 'Prompt for development and/or incomplete code/drivers' and then it will appear under USB It is marked as EXPERIMENTAL so it won't even show up in the menu unless this option is selected.
