AFAIK the 5-byte protocol is optional, and there's also a 3-byte version of the IMPS/2 protocol. The ps2mouse driver should autodetect whether the mouse supports IMPS/2 or regular PS/2, and use either. I tested it with both types of mice, and it even supports the scroll wheel :)
Two things to check... the ps2mouse driver will probe for a mouse in either /dev/input/mice or /dev/psaux. If it's detecting something in /dev/input/mice it will stay there without trying /dev/psaux. You can stick "--input-ps2mouse.device=/dev/psaux" on the command line to test this. Another possibility is that your mouse device has read permissions but not write permissions. The ps2mouse driver will try to write to the port to initialize the mouse and autodetect the mouse type. If this still fails, turn on "Event debugging" in your pgserver build and see if anything at all shows up when you move the mouse.
