I also tried killing moused and changing my X config to use /dev/ums0, but I still couldn't move my cursor.

No, I did not select serial mouse and there is no serial mouse stuff in /etc/rc.conf. As I said above to Adam, usbd_enable="YES" already exists. I have also now tried another USB mouse which I have and that doesn't work. I don't have a PS/2 mouse to test, but if I get my hands on one I will try that as well. Thanks, Shaun Friedle
