Have you tried Alsa (it's great). What kind of problems are you having?

That kinda surprises me. My usb mouse is /dev/input/mice (i also made a
symlink to /dev/mouse) I believe you will find info on creating
/dev/input/mice in Documentation/usb/hid.txt (in the kernel source).

Sorry... gpm started to make my system lose input on bootup, so I
stopped using it a while ago... If you can't get it to work even w/ the
/dev/input/mice, i'll try gpm again....

Just curious... what happens if you try X w/ your /dev/usbmouse file?
