BTW, it is a common misconception, I think, that you need this. You don't need
to run the mouse daemon to get the mouse to work in X. The moused lets you use
the mouse for some simpleton stuff in a console, and you can map it to be
/dev/sysmouse for use by X. Which is what you should use if you use moused.
But I don't bother with moused, as the capabilities aren't needed by me and
it doesn't work with my KVM switch. I used /stand/sysinstall to turn off
the mouse daemon and to run XF86Config, where I set the protocol to be 'auto'
and the device to be /dev/psm0 for my PS/ mouse, and all is fine in X.
