I had the same problem when 2 weeks ago i installed FreeBSD7.
the solution was:
# Xorg -configure to create an default xorg.conf file.
{http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/x-config.html}
Apparently for the mouse to work it needs a default{at least} xorg.conf file.

PS: If
Just installed FBSD 7, after being gone from FBSD the last 3 years.
During boot I see that the mouse is detected as ums0, but cannot get it
to work in X11. I cannot find any xorg.conf. or xorg.conf.new files. I
have gnome installed and working, so I know X is working properly. Any
suggestions

My /etc/X11 directory is empty, so do I create a new file called
xorg.conf and just try the code you have in it?
Thanks.

No ..
Run a locate xorg.conf to see what xorg.conf file is beign used to run
gnome ..
Check under /usr/local/etc/X11 to see if there's xorg.conf ..
If you are running gnome .. _there_has_to_be_ a xorg.conf file somewhere ...
Find that file a do your edits in there.
And BTW .. the code I passed
I ran update.locatedb, twice, and ran locate xorg.conf and locate
xorg.conf.new. The only result was for xorg.conf found in
/usr/local/man/man5/xorg.conf.5.gz

You need to run, as root, # Xorg -configure and create an xorg.conf

Yes, it is enabled and also have usbd_enable set to YES and mouse_type
set to AUTO and mouse_port set to /dev/ums0 (which shows on the boot up
screen and it shows my exact mouse brand and model).

Ok, it's working now, thanks for all the suggestions, you got me
straightened out. Once I got a xorg.conf.new configured correctly I
forgot to copy it to /etc/X11. Dummy me, heheheh. (Been a long time
since my last experience with BSD, about 3 years.)
Thanks guys,

If 7.0 STABLE, you should probably csup source and rebuild kernel and

related to usb devices not being detected (which sounds like what your
