I ran FreeBSD since 8 on this machine but I have had to start finding a

Enable moused in rc.conf and the following from xorg.conf helped me this

Section "ServerLayout"

Section "ServerFlags"
Option "AllowEmptyInput" "false" #

I have had to define the mouse as InputDevice and set AllowEmptyInput
to false.
The comment wrap there is very confusing. But please stop using
AllowEmptyInput. It was so misused that it has even been removed from
later versions of xorg.

There is an interaction with hald and moused that makes it worthwhile
lately for some users to run moused from rc.conf. There may be a
similar interaction with kbdmux(4) or some other keyboard component for
keyboards.
hald can be improved greatly by its absence.
