FWIW-
I have a MS Optical USB cordless mouse on my 5.2.1 box, connected to a 
Belkin OmniCube 4-port kvm switch with a usb-ps2 adapter, and it works 
great in both X and console windows. My XF86Config mouse section looks 
like this -

         Identifier  "Mouse1"
         Driver      "mouse"
         Option      "Protocol" "SysMouse"
         Option      "Device" "/dev/sysmouse"
         Option      "ZaxisMapping"      "4 5"
# Mouse-speed setting for PS/2 mouse.
         Option      "Emulate3Buttons"
EndSection

And my rc.conf contains these lines -

moused_enable="YES"
moused_port="/dev/psm0"
moused_type="auto"
usbd_enable="YES"

I wonder now if the usbd_enable line is even needed since the mouse is 
being run thru the ps2 adapter.

On the bottom of my mouse it says 'Wireless Optical Mouse Blue'. I 
haven't made any mods/changes to the kernel, it is completely generic.
