did you setup your x configuration during the install? do you know your monitors horizontal and verticle refresh rates? what video card do you have? do you know how much memory it's got?

have a look at these

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO...re.html#MOUSED

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO...ml#X-AND-WHEEL

this may also be useful

Code:

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "auto"
Option "Device" "/dev/sysmouse"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection

good luck.
