I'd recommend getting the mouse to work with gpm first, as it's simpler to diagnose. So, first "apt-get install gpm". As part of the install, that'll run "gpmconfig", and you'll need to specify the mouse location to be "/dev/psaux", the type to be "imps2", and the repeat type to be "raw" (assuming you keep gpm, so it'll repeat the raw data to the X mouse driver, which will also entail configuring X to look to "/dev/gpmdata" instead of "/dev/psaux").
I know you said "the result either way [with gpm or not] was the same", but let us know the results again after doing this.
