Hi Alan,
I think it is more likely to be (again) related to some configuration of the kernel, if mouse-test does not find it. With a usb mouse and an adequately configured kernel, you should have files named /dev/input/mice and /dev/input/mouse0. If they do not exist, this is a kernel configuration issue. If they exist, you should change MSDEVICE to /dev/input/mice (works for me).
