You may have to recompile your kernel so that it supports the /dev/psaux device.
The option to have the kernel support non-serial mice is under the "Character

section when you type "make menuconfig" under the "/usr/src/linux" directory
(you'll need to install the kernel-header and kernel-source deb packages first).
