If you're sure it's not broken you should start by telling us what has been changed in your configuration.

i don't know. i know that the mouse pointer doesn't make a move anymore under KDE,but it works out of it.
Try this as root:
create this file with your favorite editor:
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/killmo use
And add this to it:
#!/bin/sh
/usr/bin/killall moused
Save it and do:
chmod 555 /usr/local/etc/rc.d/killmo use
Then edit this file:
/etc/rc.conf
and add this line to it:
killmouse_enable="YES"
Reboot and see if the mouse works. If not, reverse the steps.

mouse doesn't works. steps reversed.
What does the mouse section of your xorg.conf file look like?
/etc/X11/xorg.conf
/etc/X11/xorg.conf
ASKER
there are no files under /etc/X11 folder.

but why 3 days ago mouse working good and now it doesn't anymore ? btw can you be more detailed ? how can i configure Xorg manually ? Thanks.
Maybe your mouse is broken (partially) or something has changed in your configuration. I can't think of another reason.
How much more detailed do you want it? You will need to generate a xorg.conf first and can edit that file later. Just take the time to read the man page. It has all the information you need (and more).

thanks.
Check that nothing has killed the usbd process, or is preventing it from (re)loading. This process is responsible for associating usb devices with /dev entries. It could also be possible that during some sort of upgrade that usbd's config file (usbd.conf) has been changed.
