The reason for this might be one of the following:

1)  You don't have the mouse attached to a wsmux device  (man wsmux)

2)  rc.wscons didn't run for some reason.

The wsmux devices allow multiple mouses (wsmouse0, 1, 2, etc) to combine
their input to appear to X as a single device (/dev/wsmouse).  If it's
not configured properly, only the numbered device (/dev/wsmouse0 in this
case) will work.
