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"
    EndSection

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.
