* Do you have mouse support compiled in or installed if compiled as a
module? Look at /proc/modules or check dmesg output for "Detected
PS/2 Mouse Port".
* Is the device file properly created, and not just a regular text
file created named psaux. Device files are actually based on the
major and minor node values, not the name of the file, and if
improperly configured won't work. "$ MAKEDEV <device file>" will
create the file properly.
* Have you tried reading raw output from /dev/psaux? As root:
$ cat /dev/psaux
< wiggle mouse, click buttons >
<ctrl>-C to quit
...you should see garbage on your screen. Nothing there indicates a
problem, I'd check the above two issues.
Peace.
