sc0 and psm0 are suppose to share the port, could you send the
output of the command `/sbin/dmesg' and the command `ls -l /dev/psm0'
you should see something like:
sc0 at 0x60-0x6f irq 1 on motherboard
sc0: VGA color <16 virtual consoles, flags=0x0>
psm0 at 0x60-0x63 irq 12 on motherboard

what are you using in your XF86Config file for a mouse? I have:
Section "Pointer"
Protocol "ps/2"
Device "/dev/psm0"
Emulate3Buttons
EndSection
