If not, add the device to your kernel config file and build a new kernel. Also, make sure /dev contains a symbolic link mouse -> /dev/psm0. If it doesn't, do ln -s /dev/psm0 /dev/mouse. Also, as I remember, it's best *not* to configure the mouse in /etc/rc.conf under 2.2.5, as it conflicts with XFree. BTW, 2.2.6 has much improved support for laptops, especially the pccard stuff.
