OK, that's way to go.

But there is something strange.
I tried to fix the problem by disabling moused in /etc/rc.conf .
After reboot, I could 'startx' X session.
But 'ps' still showed moused processes:
$ ps auxww |grep -i mouse
root 1286 0.0 0.1 9716 1148 ?? Ss 8:55AM 0:01.02
/usr/sbin/moused -p /dev/ums0 -t auto -I /var/run/moused.ums0.pid
root 1888 0.0 0.1 9716 1144 ?? Is 8:55AM 0:00.00
/usr/sbin/moused -p /dev/psm0 -t auto
root 2045 0.0 0.1 12340 2516 ?? I 8:55AM 0:00.01
hald-addon-mouse-sysmouse: /dev/psm0 (hald-addon-mouse-sy)
root 2065 0.0 0.1 12340 2520 ?? I 8:55AM 0:00.01
hald-addon-mouse-sysmouse: /dev/ums0 (hald-addon-mouse-sy)
jb 2262 0.0 0.1 9748 1284 2 S+ 9:03AM 0:00.01
grep -i mouse

I tested it by rebooting 3 times.
I have 2 mouses: Lenovo Thinkpad stick and external usb mouse.

How to explain that?
