Did you try to enable synaptics driver with setting
hw.psm.synaptics_support: 1
in /boot/loader.conf?

If you tried and are still 100% sure of elantech than place
debug.psm.loglevel=5 in /boot/loader.conf
and send me psm negotiation part of the boot log

Looks like your touchpad was misdetected as IntelliMouse at boot time 
and left in relative mode.
Does it work at vt console after "service moused onestart"?
