cannot get ps/2 mouse to work with x11

[Paul Kirschner <pek@utrc.utc.com>]

I've got a DECpc LPx 466d2 with a PS/2 type mouse.  The mouse worked 
under X11 with debian 0.93R5 but I cannot get it to work with my new 
0.93R6 install.

The particulars...

bash# ls -al /dev/*mous*
crw-rw-rw-   1 root     sys       10,   3 Oct 18 12:01 /dev/atimouse
crw-rw-rw-   1 root     sys       10,   4 Oct 18 12:01 /dev/jmouse
crw-rw-rw-   1 root     sys       10,   0 Oct 18 12:01 /dev/logimouse
crw-rw-rw-   1 root     sys       10,   2 Oct 18 12:01 /dev/msmouse
crw-rw-rw-   1 root     sys       10,   1 Oct 18 12:01 /dev/psmouse
bash# 

and from XF86config...

# **********************************************************************
# Pointer section
# **********************************************************************
 
Section "Pointer"
    Protocol    "PS/2"
    Device      "/dev/psmouse"


and the error after "startx"...

Fatal server error:
Cannot open mouse (No such file or directory)

Any suggestions on how to fix this???

TIA.
