As they noted, it should be moused_enable=3D"YES" moused_port=3D"/dev/psm0" moused_type=3D"ps/2" However, I see in /etc/defaults/rc.conf that /dev/psm0 is the default, so you shouldn't need to specify that at all, assuming it's a ps/2, and moused_type defaults to "auto", which I have always found to work fine for ps/2 mice. Sorry about the error.
