Re: usb mouse is detected by fbsd 7 but not X
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 this is regular behaviour of X11 shouldn't a note be made in
the handbook?

Re: usb mouse is detected by fbsd 7 but not X
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.
