I know it's the wrong list, but I asked the same question and I"ll offer the answer I got on the test list. You need to change the mouse device in XF86Config from /dev/psaux or /dev/mouse to /dev/input/mice. It fixed the problem I hAD with X failing on updated kernels.

From what I gather from discussion at arstechnica - it's only an issue

with Fedora kernel updates - vanilla kernels don't have the issue.

Now it's only a issue with fedora.. Other distros will have to do this later (or make dirty hacks like simlynks pointing to /dev/input/mice) . If you search the fedora-test-list archives , you may find a message from Dave Jones explaining this change..
