You can compile your ps/2 style mouse into your kernel, be sure to
remove the word "disable":
device psm0 at isa? port "IO_KBD" conflicts tty irq 12 vector psmintr
Also make sure that moused (man rc.conf) isn't started :
ps ax | grep moused
if you want to run moused, cfg your mouse to run with moused
in /etc/XF86Config:
# *************************************************************
# Pointer section
# *************************************************************
Section "Pointer"
Protocol "MouseSystems"
Device "/dev/sysmouse"
Hope this helps,
