Moused is starting, and the mouse is working.  I have
moused_enable=YES in /etc/rc.conf (and moused_flags="-z 4", but no
other mouse-related settings afaict).

My question was: why does the mouse pointer appear and work BEFORE
moused is started?  (At least before "Starting moused" appears on the
console.)

Hm.  Is there a time lag between moused starting and the output
appearing on the console?  That would be highly unlikely I think, but
who knows...

Another thing to try would be to turn moused off, to see if the mouse
still works.  Later...
