I have USB optical mouse too :-)
Debian offers many choices and sometimes you need to know what are the
choices.
It looks to me slackware is using 2.4 Kernel with devfs.
On my system, I use sid with Debian 2.6 kernel while loading mousedev
through etc/modules . Oh, I use udev. So in my system, device location can be foubd
/dev/input/mice and /dev/psaux.
$ sudo cat /dev/psaux |hd
$ sudo cat /dev/input/mice |hd
Both works nicely :-)
