Moused seems to > be the default in 2.2.2. 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.
