Don't think you're the first one to do that :) The fact I had never even enabled moused is exactly the reason I had such a hard time finding it. It just never occurred to me that usbd was starting moused up behind my back. Eventually, I realized this was happening, killed moused and it worked. Problem is the next time I plugged back in, usbd would start moused again. I had to comment the mouse section out of /etc/usbd.conf and restart usbd (/etc/rc.d/usbd restart) to get it to leave the pointers alone. What I kept forgetting is that usbd would be restarting moused. You have to reconfigure usbd and restart it. Then make sure moused isn't running. Then your mouse should be there at /def/ums0. Your xorg.conf mouse section will have to be configured to that device.
