To extend this a little further, for a normal PS/2 keyboard and mouse
setup you need to enable the following options (or load the appropriate
modules):

Input device support --->
        Input core support (input.o)
          Keyboard interface (keybdev.o)
          Mouse interface (mousedev.o)
        Serial i/o support (serio.o)
          i8042 PC Keyboard controller (i8042.o)
        Keyboards
          AT keyboard support (atkbd.o)
        Mice
          PS/2 mouse (psmouse.o)

Note that you also have to change XF86Config and GPM to use /dev/input/mice
instead of /dev/psaux.
