Try "PS/2" from memory - I always try the various X configurators before editting the file by hand - just back up the XF86Config each time.
I think only one recent machine didn't fall to one of the automatic XF86Config generating tools.

It is just saying you may need to use the "mknod" command to make some device files (files in /dev) by the sound of it. Problem with mknod is the command is specific to the driver so you'll have to read the documentation to find out which "mknod" commands to type.
I would persist with the PS/2 route myself - I got the PS/2 support working before trying out specific synaptic support, but that is based on limited experience on other hardware.
