I found the file, but it still isn't working.  When I specify "Device" as
"/dev/psaux", GNOME opens and the XF86Config states that the mouse loaded
correctly in all respects.  When "Device" is "/dev/mouse", the XF86Config states
that xf86OpenSerial: Cannot open device /dev/mouse...no such file or directory".

What's more, lsmod does not indicate that 'mouse' is loaded (I'm not sure if it
is supposed to).  When I try to 'insmod mouse' I recieve 'no module by that name
found'.  (I don't know if this is normal either).

On boot-up I sometimes see the line "(No mouse configured)', but only
occasionally.

Any ideas?

Greatly appreciated,
Wes Grate
