Did you look at /dev/mouse? Was it pointing at the right device? In your
case it's supposed to point at /dev/psaux. If it's not /dev/psaux, then to
the appropriate stty or cua (use stty if you can).

No, it just means /dev/mouse might not exist. (what's lsof???) It's a
symlink.
If this works, you need to read up on symlinks a bit more. The problem
would've been easily resolved if you gave us a bit more info, and you took
the time to look around in /dev.
