I don't see any Synaptics support in the kernel boot messages for your
psm(4) device; it says "Generic PS/2 mouse, device ID 0-00, 3 buttons":

Mine, on the other hand, displays Synaptics support ("Synaptics

Can you post the contents of your /boot/loader.conf file? If you have
the requisite loader variable to turn on Synaptics support, it's
possible your psm(4) device isn't a (recognized) Synaptics device.
The patches I'm proposing are applied to your /usr/ports tree, where you
should have installed the ports files.
$ cd /usr/ports
$ patch -p0 < path/to/a/patch/file.patch
# Repeat for each patchfile
$ for dir in x11-server/xorg-server x11-drivers/xf86-input-synaptics
x11-drivers/xf86-input-mouse; do (cd "${dir}" && make clean && make &&
make deinstall reinstall; ); done
No changes to the kernel.
