Vladimir Kushnir:
 |The subject's saying it all. Perhaps this is somewhere in docs, but I've
 |never found that place. So would anybody please explain what this
 |"moused" daemon is? Is it in any way like to Linux' gpm? And what is the
 |use for this daemon (and how to use it)? Sorry but manpage seems to be a
 |bit obscure on this subject and (unfortunately) I'm no expert in FBSD
 |code.

You got it right.  syscons mouse support.  Might check the mail archives at
www.freebsd.org for details on configuring it.
