2.6 kernels use /dev/input/mice as mouse device, for all devices, while 2.4
used this device for usb mouses only.

One fix would be to change the XF86FConfig file to use the /dev/input/micebut
the x86 kernels should contain the hacky workaround tomake /dev/psaux work
also, i don't knoz if this was removed or not recently though.
