Edit /etc/XF86Config and change the appropriate lines to read this:
Section "Pointer"
Protocol "SysMouse"
Device "/dev/sysmouse"
and try it again. I can't run X as PS/2 mouse - gives the same error
when I do. When X dumps, it's a good idea to look at ALL of the
errors/warnings, 'cause it probably said something about not being
able to connect to the mouse in there somewhere.
