Install the program modconf (aptitude install modconf).  The start it up as 
root and goto the menu item /kernel/drivers/input and select mousedev.  Exit 
out of program and the appropriate files should be updated with the mousedev 
module.  You then should be able to access your mouse without having to do 
the modprobe thing.
