I'm not familiar with your laptop, but I think that those built-in mice in laptops should come up just like a normal ps/2 connected mouse. In this case you might want to disable moused(8) in /etc/rc.conf and instead start it from the console to get more verbose output. Try to runn it with moused -d -f -p /dev/psm0 -t ps/2 Hopefully moused(8) spits out some error messages which might help do diagnose the problem further. Phil.
