similar from previous links posted, a lot of solutions are
distro-specific, and varies from version to version:

Hi everybody,
I'm writing a driver that use a USB mouse as a minimal keyboard (binding
mouse buttons to some useful keys: Enter, Tab, ESC or others).
The problem is the USB mouse driver (integrated into the kernel) takes
over the mouse device and so my driver is never bind to it.
Now, I know how to blacklist a driver if it was a module, but I wonder if
there is some easy way to do the same with a "compiled in" driver without
recompiling the kernel.
The hid driver has a quirks file you can write to which will keep it
from binding to your device.
You can also unbind a driver from a device by hand through the 'unbind'
file in sysfs in the driver's directory.
In the end, just send a patch to the hid maintainer to add your device
to the quirk list so it doesn't bind to it so you don't have to do this.
good luck,
greg k-h
Thank you Greg for you information.
I will try sysfs unbind feature.
I think sending a patch to hid maintainer is not feasible in this case,
because I use a standard mouse for my experiments. So blacklisting it means
that all mice of that kind will never work (with usbhid) in the future. Is
this right?
regards
Luca
Hi Peter,
thanks for the links, however my problem was disabling drivers compiled
in the kernel (not as modules).
Disabling the driver writing to sysfs (as suggested by Greg) did the work.
Anyway thanks for your help
Luca
