From memory, there are two mouse drivers for FreeBSD - one for the console,
and the other used by X.  If you have both running concurrently, you may
see this sort of behaviour - if you plug your I/O stuff direct into the BSD
box, do you still get the same symptoms?  If so, try killing the console
mouse driver (called moused, I think...)
