Make sure the following devices are made

crw-rw-rw-  1 root  wheel   86,   0 Oct  4 10:54 fb0
crw-rw-rw-  1 root  wheel   86,   1 Oct  4 10:54 fb1
crw-rw-rw-  1 root  wheel   86,   2 Oct  4 10:54 fb2

and you have a symlink of mouse pointing to the correct fb device

lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  3 Mar 26 07:23 mouse -> fb0
