Hello
As you probably notice there are two different mouse configurations,
one for the console and the other for X.
I remember reading that there is a conflict between the system mouse,
moused and XFree86 4.x, I am not sure if it has been fixed or not. I
would recommend keeping it disabled. (moused_enable=NO in /etc/rc.conf)
Try
$ dmesg | grep mouse
to see if you mouse is being recognized by the computer you should
receive an output that looks something like this:
$ dmesg | grep mouse
psm0: model Generic PS/2 mouse, device ID 0
$
Here is the section mouse of my XF86Config file, it is for a ps2 three
button mouse
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "auto"
Option "Device" "/dev/psm0"
EndSection
I hope this helps
