I think the problem is indeed comme from Xorg.
Just to repeat: on this Gateway notebook, only one or the other of the
touchpad or mouse would work until I enabled moused in /etc/rc.conf. Now
either or both work, including when the USB mouse is connected after X
starts.
My experience corresponds with Warren's thoughts on this. I was running the
exact levels of software on an old Dell 800Mhz desktop and new aDell laptop many
many times faster, 4 cpu's etc, etc. HAL (which is well named I think) did not
work very well on the laptop and I would lose the mouse and keyboard when I
disabled the touchpad. On the Desktop HAL worked fine. The laptop (keyboard and
mouse anyway) works fine without HAL.
