are your using moused in your rc.conf.. if so .. try the following example:

moused_port="/dev/psm0" #or whatever port your mouse is uses
moused_type="auto"

what brand / protocol does the mouse use?
..for most mice you can use the following example in your XF86Config

    Option "Protocol"    "Auto"
    Option "Device"      "/dev/psm0" #or whatever port your mouse is uses
    Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"

Is the computer running connected to a KVM switchbox?
..if so try adding  the following line to your device hints:
device          psm0    at atkbdc? irq 12 flags 0x100Hope this helps
