Indeed the configure step should normally produce a proper
configuration file; when it's not the case however you should be able
to modify it manually...

Here is an InputDevice section which should work on NetBSD:

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier  "Mouse0"
        Driver      "mouse"
        Option      "Protocol" "wsmouse"
        Option      "Device" "/dev/wsmouse"
        Option      "ZAxisMapping" "4 5 6 7"
EndSection

with your ServerLayout section containing the line:

        InputDevice    "Mouse0" "CorePointer"

As for the driver which was automatically selected, it also could be
wrong or buggy if you are having further problems than only with the
mouse.  Your VGA adaptor appears to be from Intel, I assume that the
accelerated driver for it would be i810.
