GENIUS is not in the /t list of moused, but try 
moused -t microsoft -p /dev/cuaa0
vidcontrol -m on

kill any moused proceses befor you execute this.

To make the X work with this you have to change in /etc/XF86config the
mouse port from /dev/cuaa0 to /dev/sysmouse AND chenge the mouse
protocol to "MouseSystems"

After it worked I inserted in /etc/rc.local the moused command and in
/etc/profile the vidcontol command (I am not shure if thy are the
correct places to do it bu it works perfectly)
