use /dev/psaux in your XF86Config or make /dev/mouse a symlink to it:
ln -sf /dev/psaux /dev/mouse
you can double check what we say by issuing dmesg | less and seeing a
line (around the 15th) which says:
PS/2 auxiliary pointing device detected -- driver installed.
(or "dmesg | grep aux" if you are lazy).
