If you are running moused, and the mouse works on text consoles, try
    putting this:

    Option "Protocol"    "MouseSystems"
    Option "Device"      "/dev/sysmouse"

    in the InputDevice section whose identifier is mouse1, in your
    XF86Config.

If moused *isn't* working on text consoles, try putting this:

    moused_enable="YES"
    moused_flags="-3"
    moused_port="/dev/psm0"
    moused_type="auto"

    in /etc/rc.conf, and then try the above.

The other option is to disable moused, by putting:

    moused_enable="NO"

    in /etc/rc.conf , and to use: 

    Option "Protocol"    "PS/2"
    Option "Device"      "/dev/psm0"

    in the InputDevice section whose identifier is mouse1, in your
    XF86Config.


I've a Dell Inspiron 5000, and both of these methods work well for me.
