I'm no expert, but I am pretty sure you shouldn't ever have to do symlinks
inside /dev with devfs
i.e. i don't think the fix you did was the problem
Your /etc/gpm.conf(?) file is probably set up to look for the old /dev/
spot, that's all. Devfs (I've found) to be good at picking up the slack
there, but, apparently not this time.
Your new mouse (i am pretty sure) is at /dev/input/mouse, which you knew.
I guess I'm sorry I never had this trouble when moving to devfs, because
then, for sure, i'd be able to help :)
