I have an HP laptop that is atleast 5 years old runing 11.2. Look in 
/var/run/dmesg.boot. I find the following:

psm0: <PS/2 Mouse> irq 12 on atkbdc0
psm0: [GIANT-LOCKED]
psm0: model Generic PS/2 mouse, device ID 0

In /var/log/Xorg.0.log (take the latest one of course) grepping out mouse lines

I have xorg-7.7_3  and hal-0.5.14_34. The mouse is a really old usb logitec

ps shows: /usr/sbin/moused -p /dev/ums0 -t auto -I /var/run/moused.ums0.pid

Rc.conf:  moused_enable="YES"
           moused_port="/dev/ums0"

           #dbus_enable="YES"
           #hald_enable="YES"
           #slim_enable="YES"

The comment says I used moused_port to disable the touchpad but it does not do 
that. I disable the touchpad by: "xinput set-prop 8 "Device Enabled" 0"

I did the auto xorg thing. Maybe because my hardware is pretty similar to yours 
you can see some difference. I could not pick out the mouse from "pciconf -lv"

I hope this give your some things to look at.
