Doesn't one need usbmouse also? I'm not sure.

"no such device" doesn't mean the device node is missing; it means Linux
doesn't know what device it should connect with that node.
Please post the output of ls -l /dev/input/mice. Maybe the device file has
been damaged. It should display the numbers 13, 63 (major/minor number) in
the size column. Try loading usbmouse first, though :-)
