Have you considered doing a firmware/BIOS upgrade on the motherboard? Also, what settings, if any, are there in the BIOS for the USB ports. Sometimes they are using some sort of "Compatibility Mode" for USB mice and keyboards. Have you tried toggling that?
From your output, it seems the system is able to recognize the device and is treating it in the same class as the MS Explorer mouse. The driver is not the same one as the one used by the explorer, though
Are you plugging directly into the system board or is the mouse plugged into a secondary USB device?

UMS(4) BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual UMS(4)
NAME
ums -- USB mouse driver
SYNOPSIS
To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following lines in your kernel configuration file:
device ums
device uhci
device ohci
device usb
Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in loader.conf(5):
ums_load="YES"
DESCRIPTION
The ums driver provides support for mice that attach to the USB port. Supported are mice with any number of buttons and mice with a wheel.
The /dev/ums0 device presents the mouse as a sysmouse or mousesystems type device. See moused(8) for an explanation of these mouse types.
FILES
/dev/ums0 blocking device node
EXAMPLES
Use the first USB mouse on the system as your console mouse:
moused -p /dev/ums0 -t auto
To be able to use the USB mouse under X, change the "Pointer" section in xorg.conf to the following:
Device /dev/ums0
Protocol Auto
If you want to be able to use the mouse in both virtual consoles as well as in X change it to:
Device /dev/sysmouse
Protocol Auto
SEE ALSO
ohci(4), sysmouse(4), uhci(4), usb(4), xorg.conf(5) (ports/x11/xorg), moused(8)
