Mouse works in Terminal, but not in X.

Hello, this is my first post here. :)

I recently decided to make the switch from Linux to FreeBSD. I first tried out FreeBSD 8, but the DVD didn't have anything ecept for language packs, and the FTP didn't work, even with DSL, so I tried 7.3 legacy, and got a successful install (yay!), installed and x server and afterstep (can't you just remember nextstep, back in the day... :) ). The mouse didn't work, so I tried xfce instead, with the same problem. Since then, I've tried every single patch existing on forums and websites for mice and the x server, to no avail. The funny thing is that in the terminal/shell, I can tell mouser is running correctly, and I can move around my little cursor in the shell, and in vi, yet as soon as I start up X, it doesn't move, and just sits in the exact center of the screen. This is really beginning to bother me, because what I thought would just be a weekend's installation has began to cut into my productivity; I have to use other computers to run the apps I need to run.

Any help would be greatly appreciated! I'm tired of trying to squeeze expandability into ubuntu. :p

Thank you! :)
 
Are HALd and D-Bus running? If not... /etc/rc.conf:
Code: 
hald_enable="YES"
dbus_enable="YES"
# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/hald start
# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/dbus start
