You can use the mouse without x, and it's pretty handy too, cut and paste
between console screens and such.

If you see the mouse with=20
# dmesg | grep psm
and you see the moused with
# ps -ef | grep moused
then type=20
vidcontrol -m
Which can be set in the rc.conf.
then move the mouse and it should work.  To cut and paste with a two
button mouse highlight with the left button and paste with both buttons.
Do this for every console screen you wish to use the mouse in.
hope this helps.
