It's no use trying one protocol type after another like this...
You should configure moused and X as follows.

In /etc/rc.conf, set

	moused_enable="YES"
	moused_type="auto"
	moused_port="/dev/psm0"
	moused_flags=""

In the "Pointer" section of /etc/XF86Config, you should have

	Protocol "SysMouse"	# or "Auto"
	Device "/dev/sysmouse"

Do you still see error messages after setting up the things as above?
