It's a while since I built this for my mobile but as I recall it was pretty
straigforward.

Have you set up the mouse according to the instructions in the faq. ie It
should be set up as a VIRTUAL MOUSE using mouse systems (if I recall
correctly) not as a PS/2 Mouse.

It is in the standard FAQ.
http://www.FreeBSD.org/FAQ/FAQ129.html#x-and-moused

If I'm incorrect and this isn't your problem please ignore this. :)

regards,
Ian
