I have a nice Optical PS/2 mouse and it works fine both on console and
on xorg.
But I use FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE

psm0: <PS/2 Mouse> irq 12 on atkbdc0
psm0: [GIANT-LOCKED]
psm0: model IntelliMouse, device ID 3

There are the following hints:

hint.psm.0.at="atkbdc"
hint.psm.0.irq="12"

I did not touch any hint since standard installation, and the kernel
detects the mouse as IntelliMouse.
