Do you want to run moused or not?

If you do, then make sure that the moused command options has `-t
mousesystems' on it.  Set X to use /dev/sysmouse and type Mouse Systems
(in /etc/XF86Config).

If you don't, then disable it in /etc/rc.conf, set your mouse in X as
/dev/cuaa0 (I assume it's a serial mouse on COM1) and the type as Mouse
Systems.
