No! Nothing sees the device because the kernel driver for PS/2 mice 
failed to allocate an IRQ!!

"System mouse" is the virtual (moused) mouse device that's always present.

Update your laptop's firmware ("BIOS") to the latest version.

If the message still persists, you'll probably have to patch the ACPI 
DSDT tables as described in
