I have a synaptics touchpad on a Dell Inspiron 8100 that works fine in FreeBSD 7.0. During the mouse device configuration of the installation process, all I had to do was indicate that the system has a serial mouse, and then activate it. I learned this the hard way during a previous installation when I indicated that I did not have a serial mouse, and the system failed to recognize the touchpad. Individual modules/functions of sysinstall can be run post-installation. As root, execute 'sysinstall', select Index, and then look for the module for mouse configuration. I hope this helps.
