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.
