Well, we should be able to sort this one out in a jiffy.  :-)

That's good.

That's not good.  I'm not quite sure what you mean when you say 'sysmouse'
won't work.  sysmouse(4) is a driver module -- not an executable program.  I
think you meant to say 'moused' doesn't work, so we'll work on that  :-)

What's in your /etc/rc.conf file?  Here's what's in mine regarding mice:
  
  moused_enable="YES"
  moused_type="auto"
  moused_port="/dev/psm0"

Hrmm very strange.  Work through 'man moused' (an excellent manual page) and
see how you get on.  It's my guess that if you have 'auto' as I do above, you
may have to change it for some other value -- the mouse type is not being
explicitly probed.

Or, and this is more likely, your devices are messed up.

What is the output of 

  ls -l /dev/psm0 /dev/sysmouse /dev/mouse 

?

best;
