Hi Chuck
I had a bunch of simlar issues the last time I tried until I
remembered that to get it to work I did "-D" as a flag on the 
mousesystems drive.  It sends a "Clear to Send"? or some
such which tells the mouse to behave
in my rc.conf I have
moused_enable="YES"
moused_type="mousesystems"
moused_port="/dev/cuaa0"
moused_flags="-D"

hope this helps

Kit
