No, you don't need to reinstall.
You only need to use /dev/sysmouse if you are using the mouse daemon,
moused.
Does the mouse work ok at the console?
If not, verify these settings in your rc.conf
moused_enable="YES" # Run the mouse daemon.
moused_type="microsoft" # See man page for rc.conf(5) for available settings.
moused_port="/dev/cuaa0" # Set to your mouse port.
moused_flags="" # Any additional flags to moused.
If it is not on the first serial port, change the "dev/cuaa0" entry
accordingly.
If you do not wish to run moused, try changing the setting in
/etc/XF86Config
Section "Pointer"
Protocol "MouseSystems"
Device "/dev/sysmouse"
to read
Section "Pointer"
Protocol "Microsoft"
Device "/dev/cuaa0"
