2 more things, 

make sure when asked for the mouse device in xf86config, it points to
/dev/psm0

Second, make sure the line in your kernel config file for the psm0
device to remove the "disable" comment right after the "at isa?"
comment.  You can leave that in there and cirrcomvent and use the -c
bootup command as the fellow before me did.  Be sure that you comment
the mse0 device if you enable the psm0 device in your kernel config
file, or you may disable it with the -c option as shown before.  Hope
this clarifies things for you.
