No Cursor Movement in X: Slackware-12.1

[Rich Shepard]

   If this is not the appropriate list to ask for help, please point me to
the proper place. I may not have e-mail access during my business trip this
week unless a text browser will allow me to connect to the hotel's server.

   I just upgraded my Sony Vaio PCG-V505BC from Slackware-12.0 to -12.1 and
now the cursor won't move when I start X. Neither the touchpad nor an
external USB mouse will move it. However, both the touchpad and an external
mouse work on the console with gpm running.

   The required driver is psmouse, but xorg.conf must have something
incorrect (or missing) since it no longer works. Here is the file:

   I've been trying to get this to work for two days now and would greatly
appreciate any and all help. I need the notebook for a business trip this
week and not being able to run X applications will be a major hinderance.

TIA,

Rich
