If moused works (vidcontrol -m on and you can move the pointer), then 
it must be something between moused and xfree. you need to specify the 
sysmouse protocol to xfree. in case you compiled xfree yourself, be 
sure that sysmouse.c also contains operating system conditionals for 
dragonfly. this used to be a problem, at least for some (newer?) 
version of xorg.
