Yes and yes:

sergey@sergey-hurd-box:~$ sudo ls -l /dev/{kbd,mouse,cons}
lrw-r--r-- 1 root root  8 Apr 20  2019 /dev/kbd -> cons/kbd
lrw-r--r-- 1 root root 10 Apr 20  2019 /dev/mouse -> cons/mouse

/dev/cons:
ls: cannot access '/dev/cons/vcs': No such device

(Hmm, what's that vcs error?)

That must be it: my X.Org doesn't seem to load
/usr/lib/xorg/modules/input/mouse_drv.so, although that file exists.
According to my log (which I'm attaching), it reads config from
/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d, which also exists:

sergey@sergey-hurd-box:~$ ls /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d
10-kbd.conf  10-mouse.conf  70-synaptics.conf
sergey@sergey-hurd-box:~$ cat /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-mouse.conf
Section "InputClass"
        Identifier "mouse catchall"
        MatchIsPointer "on"
        Driver "mouse"
EndSection
