The only customization possibly related to this that I have is a
modification to hal that disables mouse polling as described at:
http://www.freebsd.org/gnome/docs/halfaq.html

I did this a while back to help with some latent CPU-load that the
mouse polling (in X.org I think) was adding to the system.  I haven't
verified lately if this is even necessary anymore.
