OK, try the following...
In /dev make a link called mouse to the correct serial device. The
sio0 device uses the /dev/cuaa0 file name.
# ln -f -s cuaa0 /dev/mouse
Edit /etc/rc.conf and search for the moused lines. Set the type to
Microsoft and set the device to /dev/mouse. You don't need to add
any special options so leave that entry blank. Some 3 button mouses
need either the -D or -R option to operate in 3 button mode.
Edit /etc/XF86Config and search for the mouse section. Set the
mouse device to be /dev/sysmouse and set the type to be MouseSystems.
When you run moused the mouse cannot be shared with X. So moused
simulates a mousesystems mouse running /dev/sysmouse for X to use.
Cheers.
