You need to have the psaux driver in your kernel (built in, or as a module), look in /proc/interupts for the 'PS/2 Mouse' at 12, or in /proc/devices for '10 misc' (that's device major number 10, not interupt 10), tho misc covers other things too.
If you've got it listed in /proc/interupts you may want to check that /dev/psaux is setup right, it should be: ls -l /dev/psaux crw-rw-r-- 1 root root 10, 1 Jun 16 13:04 /dev/psaux
if it's not, as root do: rm /dev/psaux mknod --mode=664 /dev/psaux c 10 1
If the device file's ok, but the proc stuff isn't, and you built your kernel, you have to say yes to the "Mouse support (not serial mice) (CONFIG_MOUSE)" config option (in make config ;), the either y, or m to "PS/2 mouse (aka "auxiliary device") support (CONFIG_PSMOUSE)", then proberbly no to the TI Travelmate question, it's a variant (yes if that's what you have ;).
