event mouse in linux

I am having trouble using the event mouse in linux.  I was using the raw
mouse but it acted up occassionaly so I was told to try event.  I am using
advmame 87 and gentoo linux 2.6.5  I have the event interface in the kernel
and have 3 mice in /dev/input/  (event0, event1, event2)  My user has
permissions on these and when I cat /dev/input/event0 it is working.
However when I:
advm -device_mouse event
I get the error:
Unable to initialize the mouse driver.  The errors are:
event: No mouse found.

What am I missing here??
