Indeed, /devfs is removed in the kernel-2.6.13-rcX series, and you have 
to use udev.

And because of udev no longer making links unless it can detect them, 
the mouse device will probably be /dev/input/mice in either xorg.conf or 
XFConfig-4 files (even if legacy /dev/psaux has been selected as well, 
udev will not create that link either).
