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.
