I reinstalled FreeBSD completely for the 10th or so time, each time using
different options. I finally got it working with what was basically default
configuration for everything. Thanks anyway though.

I have another question that you might know the answer to, which I think is
a little easier.

As I said, I could only get everything to work when I did default
configurations for everything. However, I want to use GNOME, not the default
window manager that comes with XFree86. I was able to change it using the
/stand/sysinstall utility, but I can only run that as root. The problem is
the changes only take effect for the currently logged in user. As a result,
I have GNOME for root, but not for my unprivileged user. Do you have any
suggestions?

Thanks

Sounds lke your mouse configuration for X may not be correct.  Could you
post
your XF86Config?
