Just asking some basic questions. Do you have ps/2 mice configured in the kernel? You should have a 'CONFIG_PSMOUSE=y' or 'CONFIG_PSMOUSE=m' in your kernel config file. If it is compiled in you should see something like the following during boot, 'Detected PS/2 Mouse Port.' Your Pointer section in XF86Config should minimally work with the following.
