Thanks everyone for helping lead me to the solution. I had two problems: 1.I needed to change the mouse to /dev/psaux and specify PS/2 and 2. I wasn't updating the XF86Config-4 file ( I had read the note below but misinterpreted it )
I had been changing the config but didn't realize that it wasn't being updated. Thanks again! Now I just need to get my Dlink DWL-G510 WiFi card working and all my dreams will have come true...
