i understand that, but i was giving this information to beat the dead
horse about the fact that psm0 for lack of a better guess is the touchpad,
while the information on ums0 matches brandnames printed on my USB mouse
(in addition to it being labeled "USB")

here is an online photo album with 3 pictures showing this information:

oh jeez

kv_bsd# ps axw | grep moused
   957  ??  Ss     0:01.58 /usr/sbin/moused -p /dev/ums0
  1066  p1  RV     0:00.00 grep moused (csh)
kv_bsd#


i just realized that the mice are currently working correctly..

{:/ but this has happened before..

kv_bsd# head -12 /etc/rc.conf

# -- sysinstall generated deltas -- # Sun Dec  2 03:03:56 2007

linux_enable="YES"
moused_enable="YES"
moused_psm0_port="/dev/null"
#moused_port="/dev/ums0"
#moused_type="auto"
kv_bsd#

it's probably fine that you are going to go sporadic on me for
the moment because i don't feel like rebooting at the moment.
