The default is for moused to use "auto", but for reasons that I do not know that doesn't always work. You can specify the mouse type by adding another entry to /etc/rc.conf: moused_type=3D"ps/2" Again, this is assuming you are using a ps/2 mouse. Everytime I have ever seen a mouse pointer fly to one edge of the screen and not move =66rom there it was due to a wrong mouse protocol, which with moused is specified with the moused_type directive.
