What is the file name of the ps2 mouse driver?

I need the name of the ps2 mouse driver file. I am having difficulty with a new install. The mouse works in X but not on the console. I set up the XF86Setup configs with the same setting I used for gpm, X works fine. Xterm does not. I do not see any driver listed in /lib/modules/kernelXXX/misc/

I think the problem here is gpm being unconfigured, rather than X and it not playing together nicely. Run gpmconfig to configure gpm. /dev/psaux is the device file associated with a ps/2 mouse. Like ktb said, you need to stop gpm before you'll be able to use the mouse in X, so, in essence, you
