The PS/2 mouse device is psm0, not mse0. mse0 is for the bus mouse which
is a totally different beast.
> Type Auto
This is fine.

Yes, and this port is named "psm0" in /dev.

These are fine.
Now, in order to test your PS/2 mouse and `mouse' daemon, please do
the following when you are not running X.
1. Become root.
2. Kill the `moused' daemon, if it is already running.
3. Run the `moused' daemon as follows; it will print some info.
moused -i all -p /dev/psm0
If you see the message something like:
/dev/psm0 ps/2 sysmouse generic
then, it is OK.
4. Then run the `moused' daemon in the foreground mode in order to see
how it works.
vidcontrol -m on
moused -f -p /dev/psm0
Move the mouse and see if the mouse pointer will move in the text
console screen. If it moves as you expect, then all is fine now.
Hit ^C to stop the daemon.
5. Run the daemon in the background mode again.
moused -p /dev/psm0
7. Then, edit /etc/rc.conf and make sure the following variables are
correctly set so that the `moused' daemon will start up properly
next time.
moused_enable="YES"
moused_type="auto"
moused_port="/dev/psm0"
moused_flags=""
8. Start X.
Hope this will help.
