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.
