Hello Eric Only one.. originally I tried moused on console, but it behaved like left-button was always pressed and refused to move to left-half of screen, so I disabled moused in rc.conf. Therefore /dev/sysmouse will no longer work with X (pointer was dead on the screen until I changed to /dev/psm0). I will try your sugestion next time I boot freebsd..
