The mouse does not work in the X Windows.  Works OK in the setup.
And the moused -p /dev/psm0 works properly. When X WIndows is started the mouse jerks to the side of the screen and only moves sporadically.

I have tried several different mice including serial, and PS2 type.

I have modified the  /etc/rc.conf and /etc.XF86Config files extensively.  All to NO avail.

Fix: 

I think you should re-write your mouse drivers. This box works OK with Linux or SCO installed on it.
How-To-Repeat: I have re-installed FreeBSD 4.3 in several different ways, still no good. I have tried all kinds of settings in the Bios of this system (Clone AMD K6 333/128MB Ram/10GB IDE  ATX System)

This is almost certainly user error: mice work fine in FreeBSD, 
in X and in console mode.  If you're still having problems, 
send email to the questions@FreeBSD.org support list will full 
details of the commands and configuration files you have tried.
