This does not seem to solve the problem on my laptop. If I use /dev/psaux, X 
starts but the pointer does not move, with /dev/input/mouse0, X claims 
"/dev/input/mouse0: no such device" although it really exists. Finally with 
/dev/input/event0, it seems that the "mouse" gets driven by the keyboard !
I have modprobed evdev and psmouse  !

Any hint ?

TIA
