I think it would be clearer next time you read the config file if it
just says "/dev/psaux" instead, but that will work.

I think it is a devfs-ism. I use devfs and have
/dev/misc/psaux (PS/2 mouse port)
/dev/input/mouse0 (first USB mouse)
/dev/input/mice (all mice combined)
(hmm, actually, this machine has a ps/2 mouse right now and the usb
one is on the laptop, so I don't have the mouse0 here, but apparently
the mice file includes the ps/2 mouse)

Maybe you need to enable devfs first, or maybe you need a 2.4 kernel?
$ ls -l /dev/input/mice
