If /dev/input/mice does not work while /dev/psaux does, the problem might be in the kernel, not in xorg. IIRC, /dev/input/mice is supposed to contain /dev/psaux events and the kernel manages these devices (together with udev). If you switch back to /dev/input/mice now, does it work? If not, does the file /dev/input/mice even exist? If yes, do you get some ugly characters in the terminal if you move the PS/2 mouse after starting "cat /dev/input/mice" as root? > The documentation for evdev suggests that it should work regardless of > the type of connection.

And I don't think you are supposed to get a evdev configuration for the mouse after an install.
