Yes, compile in mouse support and make sure you choose PS/2 mouse support in the sub menu. Also you'll want the event interface (in the same section as mouse support).
make sure you're pointing to an existing device. (e.g. make sure /dev/input/mice exists)
of course it exists. i am not an idiot ;-)
this should tip you off as to whether or not you forgot to compile something in.

make sure you're pointing to an existing device. (e.g. make sure /dev/input/mice exists) The next things I'd check are:
If the mouse is USB is usb enabled in kernel? In the xorg.conf do you have the mouse device in the ServerLayout section? In the InputDevice section of xorg.conf have you got the right "Protocol"? I think you can use "auto" for this. What is in the /var/log/Xorg.0.log say are there any EE lines there? I'm sure you've checked some of things but can't hurt to double check. Joe
