man moused:
Also note that if your mouse is attached to the PS/2 mouse port,
you should always choose auto or ps/2, regardless of the brand
and model of the mouse.
Whenever I install a FreeBSD workstation, I almost always have a bit of
trouble getting the mouse to work. It's just a bit more complicated than
it need be; valid configurations exist with moused running, and without,
by using /dev/sysmouse, and by using /dev/psm0 (even if the mouse shows
up as ums0!). The one constant, however, is that I *always* use 'type
auto' in mouse configs.
