Query--are you using XF86 v3.x? or v4.x?
XF86Config is conf file for v3
XF86Config-4 is conf file for v4
For my (working) XF86Config-4:

we part ways here "/dev/psaux"
I don't have a clue as to why. In v3 device was /dev/mouse which is a
link to gpmdata

Be sure that /etc/rc[2345].d contain something like:
S20gpm -> ../init.d/gpm
Be sure that /etc/init.d contains gpm. Check the script that it hasn't
been disabled, eg. an exit 0 thrown in to stop the script.
If all that's ok, as root do:
# telinit 2
If your mouse isn't running in console now, we're back to "42" :-)
