Well, I'm not at all clear on how that worked, but 
it worked!  (I'll have to read up on ./MAKEDEV)  
Anyway, it finally did the trick -- I ran that 
command, and a /dev/input/mice file appeared.  
I then did dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86 and 
set the mouse to /dev/input/mice, then edited 
/etc/X11/XF86Config so that device: said 
/dev/input/mice, then did startx and...

Presto.

I hope this is of help to anyone else out there 
who runs into this and am eternally obliged to 
Mr. Tillman for his patience and effort.

Mike
