You had better specify which version of FreeBSD you are using. In the
following text I will assume it is 2.2.1 or 2.2.2. And I also assume
you are talking about mouse behavior under X.
Under 2.2.X, you can let the X server access a mouse, or a built-in
pointing device, directly or via `moused'. (If you are not sure
about `moused' running, do `ps auxww | grep moused'.)
Locate the Pointer section of XF86Config. The file is either in
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11 or in /etc, depending on where you saved it when
you configured X.
If you are not using `moused', that is, you let the X server access
the psm device directly, the section should look like:
Protocol "PS/2"
Device "/dev/psm0"
If you are using `moused', it should be:
Protocol "MouseSystems"
Device "/dev/sysmouse"
