You missed the fact that the usb mouse works fine when the system is
booted, but it is the track pad that we are trying to get working with
the /dev/psm0.
Although the usb mouse stops working if I unplug it and plug it back in
again.
/dev/psm0 doesn't show up even if the usb mouse isn't plugged in when
the system boots.

Thanks for the input though :)
