I think that people here would love to get you up and running FreeBSD but you will have to give us more information. Without more information, the best we can do is exchange "Do you have this?" types of questions or take a rough guess. In particular, if you could send your /etc/rc.conf, /etc/X11/XF86Config (the InputDevice Section at least), and dmesg output I think you will get a solution quicker.
