Yes, before you throw away your mainboard:
FreeBSD provides a mouse-demon for the text-terminal. This might disturb
the XF86-configuration.
I believe you have to activate it (via /stand/sysinstall) and configure
X with
Protocol "MouseSystems"
device "/dev/sysmouse"

Also have a look at
www.xfree.org
about this problem.
