Yes, there's a working Logitech USB optical mouse working before and
after making touchpad works with synaptics driver. Both touchpad and USB
mouse works simultaneously in X.

I suppose when setting hw.psm.synaptics_support="1" would make moused run.

For your reference, here's what I've done:
- put this into /boot/loader/conf and then reboot the machine:
	hw.psm.synaptics_support="1"

- put these into /etc/X11/xorg.conf:
	Section "InputDevice"
	             Identifier  "Touchpad0"
	           Driver      "synaptics"
	           Option      "Protocol" "psm"
	            Option      "Device" "/dev/psm0"
	EndSection

- and append these into "ServerLayout" section of /etc/X11/xorg.conf:
	InputDevice    "Touchpad0" "SendCoreEvents"

- comment out moused_enable="YES" in /etc/rc.conf

Hope this help.
