If I recall correctly, there is a "sysmouse" option for X, which is required
to be used if you run moused.  The Fine Manual, or at least the sysinstall
dialogs, mention this when they ask you if you want to install moused.  It
may also be in the moused man page, but I don't have access to my freebsd
system right now to check for sure.
