re:  configuration of a mouse using freebsd 4.7 + XFree86-4.2.0_1 gnome desktop

Hello,

I have just got my FreeBSD 4.7 p4 box running with the new 
Nvidia-GeForce-2mx-400 graphics driver.  I have been able to 'startx' and 
see the gnome-enlightenment desktop.  My problem:  The mouse cursor starts 
in the middle of the screen and then flys to the top left hand corner after 
the slightest touch.  The cursor responds to mouse motion, but in a very 
erratic way, sticking to the to left  hand corner.  I have repeatedly gone 
into /stand/sysinstall/ Configure "Mouse" to no avail.  I have tested this 
on 3 different mice.  Even when I pass the mouse configuration test 'enable 
the mouse daemon' the desktop cursor responds erratically as outlined 
above.  I have tried this with a logitech 3 button serial, a dexxa 3 button 
serial and a Microsoft Intellimouse 3 button ps-2.  Because the same effect 
happens with different mice, I am wondering if there is a way to configure 
gnome to handle the mouse inputs.

Any and all help is apprecitated.
