I do not have any problem with the moused running at all (after doing
the steps in the original email). Also as far as my os is concerned
there is no USB mouse attached to the workstation. We are using
different versions of FreeBSD :)
By editing /etc/rc.conf and adding this line at the end:
moused_enable="NO" , and then rebooting, keeps my moused from starting.
I suppose I could have done #killall -9 moused *and* edited /etc/rc.conf
with no immediate reboot. When I appended the line to
/boot/device.hints, I rebooted for that too. This box is a workstation
with one user, me, so uptime is not a issue.
As far as the order of the steps, please see the original email. I did
start X last after doing everything in the original email, as the mouse
did not work at all until all steps were complete.

I re-read "man psm" and I believe the flags i set (/boot/device.hints)
keep the mouse driver at level 0.
A level 1 driver would make the scroll wheel work. When I boot with a
level 1 driver, my mouse is completly dead in X. It is beyond my skills
and desire, to code a custom driver :)
