lshal shows that the magic is working:
di = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/psm_0'
freebsd.device_file = '/dev/psm0' (string)
freebsd.driver = 'psm' (string)
freebsd.unit = 0 (0x0) (int)
info.addons = {'hald-addon-mouse-sysmouse'} (string list)
info.capabilities = {'input', 'input.mouse'} (string list)
info.category = 'input' (string)
info.parent = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/atkbdc_0' (string)
info.product = 'PS/2 Mouse' (string)
info.subsystem = 'platform' (string)
info.udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/psm_0' (string)
input.device = '/dev/sysmouse' (string)
input.x11_driver = 'mouse' (string)
platform.id = 'psm.0' (string)
Note that the input.device is sysmouse and that it works. Does lshal how
the input device to be sysmouse on your system?
