OK...making some progress now.  I have these entries (except I'm using 
/dev/psm0 for the time being) and now the mouse is jumping to the upper 
left corner of the screen and flickering menus mysteriously.  Moving the 
mouse only causes the flickering.  I used another PS/2 connected mouse 
(wired this time -> MS Optical USB) and it gave the exact same behavior).

Any ideas about what to check?  It appears my /etc/rc.conf and 
/etc/X11/xorg.conf (mouse section, at least) look identical to yours.  
I've been googling, but apparently not putting in the right combo of 
words (flickering, erratic, etc.).

Thanks again.
