If you are using syscons (the default console driver), you can
configure FreeBSD to support a mouse pointer on each virtual
screen. In order to avoid conflicting with X, syscons supports
a virtual device called ``/dev/sysmouse''. All mouse events
received from the real mouse device are written to the sysmouse
device, using the MouseSystems protocol. If you wish to use your
mouse on one or more virtual consoles, and use X, the
following configuration is recommended:
/etc/rc.conf:
moused_type=ps/2 # or whatever your actual type is
moused_port=/dev/psm0 # or whatever your real port is
moused_flags=
/etc/XF86Config
Section Pointer
Protocol "MouseSystems"
Device "/dev/sysmouse"
.....
Some people prefer to use ``/dev/mouse'' under X. To
make this work, ``/dev/mouse'' should be linked to
/dev/sysmouse:
# cd /dev
# rm -f mouse
# ln -s sysmouse mouse
