 Hello,
 
 I happen to observe similar things. I have both a USB mouse and a PS/2
 mouse, and for the USB mouse /dev/sysmouse ist automatically created by
 moused. (Note that this ums-moused-autostart logic has been deployed
 rather recently with the /etc/devd.conf update of November 2011.)
 
 Although my xorg.conf explicitly specifies /dev/mouse (which points to
 the PS/2 mouse) as my pointer device, the X server actually attaches to
 /dev/sysmouse, rendering /dev/mouse unused. Since in my case the USB
 mouse does not exist physically (it is on a Microsoft Bluetooth dongle),
 I have no X pointer.
 
 I dug a while in the xf86-mouse sources - it appears that /dev/sysmouse
 is actually being preferred in any case.
 
 Stopping moused makes my normal PS/2 pointer reappear.
 
 Helge
