Actually /dev/input/mice works! However, at one point, X crashed and
when I startx'ed the mouse stopped working. So I restarted my computer
(because I'm not clear on how to restart usb services) with the mouse
unplugged and plugged the mouse in once I logged in. It didn't register
on the first attempt so I reinserted the mouse and USB services
registered the mouse with the driver.
So, problem solved. My mouse works now.
Thanks for your help.

that works "sometimes" in Linux. Xfree86 is configured with an extra
/dev/usbmouse "InputDevice" section and "ServerLayout" entry for the
device. dmesg detects the device perfectly:
usb.c: registered new driver usbkbd
input0: Composite USB PS2 Converter USB to PS2 Adaptor v1.09 on usb1:2.0
...
usb.c: registered new driver hid
input: USB HID v1.10 Mouse [Composite USB PS2 Converter USB to PS2
Adaptor v1.09] on usb1:2.1
hid-core.c: v1.8.1 Andreas Gal, Vojtech Pavlik <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
hid-core.c: USB HID support drivers
and /proc/bus/usb/devices:
S: Manufacturer=Composite USB PS2 Converter
S: Product=USB to PS2 Adaptor v1.09
However, after restarting X and the USB modules there is still no
response from the mouse. I did a cat on /dev/usbmouse as well as
/dev/input/mouse0 and got nothing after moving the mouse. There has
been one or two times where I have received garbage characters after
moving the mouse, but I have not located the problem or a way to
duplicate this consistently.
Any help or advice is appreciated.
Thanks,
Chase
