Just asking some basic questions.

Do you have ps/2 mice configured in the kernel?  You should have a 
'CONFIG_PSMOUSE=y' or 'CONFIG_PSMOUSE=m' in your kernel config file. If
it is compiled in you should see something like the following during
boot, 'Detected PS/2 Mouse Port.'

Your Pointer section in XF86Config should minimally work with the
following.

Section "Pointer"
    Protocol      "MouseMan"
    Device        "/dev/psaux"
EndSection
