Just a few hints...
Did you check whether mouse input gets into your box?

Try (as root)

# cat /dev/input/mice

Move the mouse just after you issued that command. If you see garbled
control codes on your terminal, everything is fine. 

I think xconfigurator creates those entries
 
Option  "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option  "Device" "/dev/mouse"

in XF86-Config-4, so there should be a symlink /dev/mouse to
/dev/input/mice. With the new input layer IMPS/2 has to be used.
