There's are two ways to access the mouse in X on FreeBSD:
  1. directly, using the mouse device itself (/dev/ums0) in the X config file
  2. indirectly, using the moused device (/dev/sysmouse) in the X config file

Which you use depends on whether or not you want mouse support at the console before X loads.

If you want mouse support at the console, then you need to enable moused in /etc/rc.conf, and use /dev/sysmouse in your X config file.

If you just want mouse support in X, then disable moused in /etc/rc.conf, and use the mouse device (/dev/ums0) in your X config file.
