Is moused running? And if it is, how is it configured?
See the FreeBSD handbook and the moused manpage for details:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/install-post.html#MOUSE

Which brand/model mouse do you have? And how does the mouse connect to
your PC (PS2 or USB)?

What are your mouse settings in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
