Load synaptics driver instead of generic mouse driver

I've installed the xf86-input-synaptics driver from ports and I can see it in /usr/local/lib/xorg/modules/input. I don't have an xorg.conf file. I'm letting hal configure X for me. Hal always selects the generic mouse driver instead of the synaptics driver. I've added
Code:
hw.psm.synaptics_support="1"
to /boot/loader.conf and
Code:
moused_enable="YES"
to /etc/rc.conf but hal doesn't seem to care. I'd rather not make an xorg.conf if I don't have to.

Is there some way to tell hal to load the synaptics driver instead of the generic mouse driver?
