The reason to use /dev/input/mice is the PS/2 mouse driver itself has not been ported over to the input suite for 2.4.X. You can use the above for the USB mouse now. Now if you have a USB mouse plus a PS/2 mouse then having both use /dev/psaux would require a reworking of the PS/2 driver. I rather port over the PS/2 mouse to use /dev/input/mice. I have done this for my CVS but since the PS/2 mouse shares the same chipset as the PS/2 keyboard you have to use both input drivers. It would be better if XFree86 would have a /dev/eventX driver but we would wait a long time for that to happen :-( MS: (n) 1.
