rc.conf has:
moused_enable="YES" # Run the mouse daemon.
moused_type="auto" # See man page for rc.conf(5) for available
settings.
moused_port="/dev/psm0"
moused_flags="" # Any additional flags to moused.
which results in:
# ps -ax|grep moused
moused -p /dev/psm0 -t auto
with:
Section "Pointer"
Protocol "MouseSystems"
Device "/dev/mouse"
in /etc/XF86Config and
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 13 Jan 29 22:38 /dev/mouse -> /dev/sysmouse
in /dev
Works fine for me.
