I was lazy and just changed the instance of /dev/psaux to point to 
/dev/input/mice and didn't worry about the symlink to /dev/mouse. This 
worked as well.

There was also mention about changing an entry in /etc/sysconfig/gpm to 
/dev/mouse and I chaged it to point to /dev/input/mice as well.

At first attempt, I put mouse in the entry, instead of mice. I realized 
later that I did this and corrected the entry to the plural.

If your mouse entries are correct, it might be something other than a 
pointer device, maybe your problem is related to the display driver or 
something.
