See the man page for the types of supported mice, the port designation, etc. Once you've loaded 'moused' with the appropriate arguments, test it out: vidcontrol -m on If the mouse appears to be functional, you can now try to get it to work with X. I don't remember where I read this, but the "secret" to getting this to work with X is to realize that the 'moused' daemon outputs the MouseSystems mouse protocol on /dev/sysmouse. So no matter what type of mouse you have, always configure X to use the MouseSystems protocol on /dev/sysmouse.
