    Gee, figures I'd overlook something that blantantly obvious!

Actually, /dev/psaux was my first guess when trying to get the mouse to
work. The first time I tried to use the mouse was when I was setting up
Xfree86. When I tried to use /dev/psaux in the XF86Config, it didn't work,
but I read another message from the list where someone used gpm with the -R
option and pointed to /dev/gpmdata. Doing it that way did the trick, but I
needed that clarification that psaux actually was the device location.

Thanks for the help.
