You should change the mouse device to /dev/psaux because that is the device for a "PS/2" mouse. If the X server dies because it couldn't open this device, it could be because your kernel doesn't have support for the PS/2 mouse. Check your boot messages (can be viewed by typing 'dmesg'), there will be a message saying that our PS/2 device has been detected. -- Jens B.
