Obviously you could use the -allowMouseOpenFail option to the X server to start it even if it can't open the core pointer, but it's not really useful in your case I guess. If you're replacing the kernel driver, and it's not compatible with existing kernel driver, you should also implement an XFree86 driver that talks to your new kernel API. If you've just changed the device name under /dev but kept a compatible API, then just update your /etc/X11/XF86Config file to point to the new entry in /dev.
