>vi /etc/XF86Config and search for Intellimouse and change it to auto 

I'm not using an Intellimouse..... I have tried several different ways to get my mouse to work in X and tried auto already. Same problem. 

moused -t auto -p /dev/psm0 
moused -t auto -p /dev/ps/2 
causes the mouse curser to run and hide along the right hand side of the screen after X starts. 

moused -t auto -p /dev/sysmouse 
moused -t auto -p /dev/mouse 
both cause the mouse curser to be unresponsive in X. Just sits in the middle of the screen and won't move.

>I just installed FreeBSD 4.6 for the first time yesterday.  All went well except for mouse support in X.  Running /stand/sysinstall I configure mouse support, ending up with "moused -p /dev/psm0 -t auto", but when I startx the mouse curser zooms over to the right hand side of the screen as soon as I touch the mouse.  When configuring the mouse in sysinstall, using the test portion, the mouse moves properly and all appears normal.
