Rebuild your kernel without DevFS support.
File Systems -> Pseudo File Systems -> Device File System.

hi!
as soon as you have plugged in your usb-mouse, a new device should appea, on my thinkpad (touchpad, trackpoint, usbmouse):
you can check it if you do a as root and move your usb mouse - then you know the device.
I could post my udev rules, if somebody is interested 
cheers, R.
