Make sure you have hw.psm.synaptics_support=1 in /boot/loader.conf

moused is *not* the new way. Forget moused, disable it completely, it is
designed only for basic mice, it will never work with touchpads' 
advanced capabilities.

The new way is evdev/libinput. Unfortunately evdev wasn't enabled by 
default in
12.0-RELEASE, I think you have to switch to 12-STABLE snapshots at least
(or rebuild a 12 kernel manually).
