Make the following changes to /etc/rc.d/moused

Add this if statement before "echo -n "Starting ${ms} moused:"

:
fi

if "${mytype}" =3D=3D "NONE" ; then
           mytype=3D""
fi

echo -n "Starting ${ms} moused:"
:

Then change:

/usr/sbin/moused ${myflags} -p ${myport} -t ${mytype} ${_pidarg}

to

/usr/sbin/moused ${myflags} -p ${myport} ${mytype:+-t} ${mytype} ${_pidarg}

Now add to /etc/rc.conf:

moused_psm0_type=3D"NONE"
or
moused_type=3D"NONE"

${mytype:+-t} will modify the commands flags only, when ${mytype} is
unset or null, null is substituted; otherwise -t substituted.

I haven't checked if this works, but if you could make the changes,
verify that it works for you and submit a PR with the patch.
