[ale] MS 5Button USB Mouse with IntelliEye

Everyone,

     I apologize for bringing this back up again, but for whatever reason, I
simply can't get this thing to work.  I've finally got the box up and running,
got X installed on it, and then got KDE installed.  This problem popped up right
after the installation of X, but I was just dying to see KDE 3.x on this box. 
Anyways, it's up, it's running, and it's fast, but my mouse still doesn't work
:-((  I followed the instructions on the Gentoo page about setting up a USB
mouse, and when I unplug / plug in my mouse, I get a syslog entry stating that
it's there, but I don't have /dev/input anywhere, much less /dev/input/mouse. 
I'm guessing that I missed something in the kernel setup, but can't for the life
of me find it.  Has anyone got one of these things working?  Does everyone (but
me) see the flaw in my (admittedly, somewhat warped) logic?
