This seems to be harder than you would expect with a USB mouse -- moused
starts up even with 'moused_enable="NO"' in my /etc/rc.conf.  And in any
case, I'm not talking about poor mouse response: I'm talking about over
a minute and a half for thunderbird to start up with the mouse standing
still, and "make buildkernel" not completing even after eight hours.
