I have a T30, the touchpad is enabled in the BIOS, the touchpad and
trackpoint work with /dev/sysmouse. The third button does not work. When
I plug in a USB mouse I get a second moused that also works with
/dev/sysmouse, so I can use 3 pointing devices at the same time, in text
mode and in X.
relevant /etc/rc.conf parts:
usbd_enable="YES"
moused_enable="YES"
moused_flags="-3"
relevant /etc/X11/XF86Config parts:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "auto"
Option "Device" "/dev/sysmouse"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "Buttons" "5"

Right, I think the only solution is to fix moused to recognize the 3th
button on the touchpad, the 3th button on the usb mouse works fine.
