I think "Protocol" should be "Auto" if you're going to use 
"/dev/sysmouse" as the "Device". Of course, moused(8) needs to run for 
this to work.

  Please check your dmesg(8) to see if the system recognizes it.

  I'm not familiar with your laptop, but I think that those built-in 
mice in laptops should come up just like a normal ps/2 connected mouse. 
In this case you might want to disable moused(8) in /etc/rc.conf and 
instead start it from the console to get more verbose output. Try to 
runn it with

	moused -d -f -p /dev/psm0 -t ps/2

  Hopefully moused(8) spits out some error messages which might help do 
diagnose the problem further.
