Get the latest port, XFree86-4.1.0. It's got new patches especially
useful for i810.

Make sure nothing else is using /dev/psm0 by using "fstat /dev/psm0".
Here's the section from my XF86Config for the mouse, if it helps:


    Section "InputDevice"

    # Identifier and driver

        Identifier  "Mouse1"
        Driver      "mouse"
        Option "Protocol"    "auto"
        Option "Device"      "/dev/psm0"

    EndSection

Cheers.
