Greetings all,
I just installed a copy of 12@363433 from the install media=2E
I then pkg installed everything I intended to use=2E
After installing Xorg-server,nvidia-driver,xf86-input-keyboard,
xf86-input-mouse=2E I fired
Xorg -configure
examined the output in both /var/Xorg=2Eo=2Elog && ~/xorg=2Econf=2Enew
everything appeared to be in order=2E So I fired off a
Xorg -config ~/xorg=2Econf=2Enew -retro

While I got the familiar background mesh (-retro), and the
keyboard functioned correctly=2E The mouse doesn't work=2E

>From Xorg=2E0=2Elog:
[85=2E337] (II) config/udev: Adding input device IntelliMouse Explorer (/dev/=
input/event4)
[85=2E337] (II) No input driver specified, ignoring this device=2E
[85=2E337] (II) This device may have been added with another device file=2E

Relevant excerpt from xorg=2Econf=2Enew:
Section "InputDevice"
=09Identifier  "Mouse0"
=09Driver      "mouse"
=09Option=09    "Protocol" "auto"
=09Option=09    "Device" "/dev/sysmouse"
=09Option=09    "ZAxisMapping" "4 5 6 7"
EndSection

I appear to have covered all the bases in the entry of the handbook at:
https://www=2Efreebsd=2Eorg/doc/handbook/x-config=2Ehtml

Thanks in advance for any assistance=2E

--Chris
