moused(8) is able to mix several mice.
You can use devd to call moused when an usb mouse is inserted, with a
rule in /etc/devd.conf like :
attach 200 {
device-name "ums0";
action "/usr/sbin/moused -a 5 -p /dev/ums0
-I /var/run/moused.ums0.pid ; /usr/sbin/vidcontrol -m on"; };
In Xorg.conf, use /dev/sysmouse for the mouse device.
That's all.
Regards.
