I believe if you run the mouse daemon and use /dev/sysmouse
in xorg it will work a lot better.

Subject: Jittery PS/2 Mouse in 7.0-RELEASE
I have a PS/2, wired, optical mouse that I have been using flawlessly with
Windows and several Linux distributions for years now. I would like to
switch
to Free BSD, but the mouse becomes very jittery within FreeBSD. I have
tried
the mouse with both moused and X controlling the mouse, but in both cases
the
result is the same. The cursor on the screen tracks properly when
I move my
mouse in a wide arc, but when I move the mouse in small increments the
cursor
does not follow the mouse at all. This makes it very difficult
to click on
small targets such as an OK button.
Relevant Information:

dmesg mouse output:
psm0: PS/2 Mouse irq 12 on atkbdc0
psm0: [GIANT-LOCKED]
psm0: [ITHREAD]
psm0: model IntelliMouse, device ID 3
xorg.conf:
Section InputDevice
Identifier Mouse0
Driver mouse
Option Protocol PS/2
Option Device /dev/psm0
Option Emulate3Buttons no
Option ZAxisMapping 4 5
EndSection
This does not seem to be a problem with X for several reasons.
First, I use
this version of X.org with Linux with the same config that is shown above
without this problem.
Second, when I give control of the mouse over to moused, the problem does
not
change. It is visible even in the console when using moused.
I am using a custom kernel, but this problem does not change even
when I am
using the GENERIC kernel.
Based on this information I think I have crossed out most potentional
porblem locations,
but I hope I missed something.
