Yes :-)

The patch needs a slight mod - removal of a field in a struct - from the one 
posted (see comments about the 'dt' field in the PR). I can e-mail you a 
modified version - is your re-mail address valid?

Save the patch to a file, e.g. /tmp/pr70607_patch then, as root:

# cd /usr/src
# patch -Clp0 < /tmp/pr70607_patch

[that's a lower case L and a zero]

The -C just simulates what would happen without actually changing anything - 
just to check that the patch will apply cleanly. Make sure all the hunks 
succeed, you should see this:

Hmm...  Looks like a unified diff to me...

Hmm...  The next patch looks like a unified diff to me...

Hunk #13 succeeded at 807.
done

If they all succeed then do it for real:

# patch -lp0 < /tmp/pr70607_patch

[again a lower case L and a zero]

The rebuild and install your kernel

# make buildkernel && installkernel

edit /etc/rc.conf to change moused_port to /dev/ums0, shutdown, connect the 
mouse to the USB port, restart and enjoy:
