This is from drivers/input/Kconfig:
-/\/-
config INPUT_MOUSEDEV
        tristate "Mouse interface" if EMBEDDED
        default y
        depends on INPUT
        ---help---
          Say Y here if you want your mouse to be accessible as char devices
          13:32+ - /dev/input/mouseX and 13:63 - /dev/input/mice as an
          emulated IntelliMouse Explorer PS/2 mouse. That way, all user space
          programs (includung SVGAlib, GPM and X) will be able to use your
          mouse.

          If unsure, say Y.

          To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
          module will be called mousedev.

config INPUT_MOUSEDEV_PSAUX
        bool "Provide legacy /dev/psaux device" if EMBEDDED
        default y
        depends on INPUT_MOUSEDEV
-\/\-
Maybe mousedev was built as a module and it didn't get loaded?
