 This is a bit strange.
 To fix the problem I disabled moused in /etc/rc.conf .
 I could 'startx' X session.
 But 'ps' still showed moused processes:
 $ ps auxww |grep -i mouse
 root        1286   0.0  0.1   9716   1148  ??  Ss    8:55AM  0:01.02
 /usr/sbin/moused -p /dev/ums0 -t auto -I /var/run/moused.ums0.pid

 /usr/sbin/moused -p /dev/psm0 -t auto

 grep -i mouse
 
 I have 2 mouses: Lenovo thinkpad stick and external usb mouse.
 
 There was a fix offered on questions-list:
 Disable hal in xorg.conf, ServerLayout section:
 Option "AutoAddDevices" "Off"
 
 I assume this is a temp solution only.
 
 So I enabled moused in /etc/rc.conf, with the above xorg.conf fix. and rebooted.
 'startx' log shows:
 
 (EE) config/hal: NewInputDeviceRequest failed (8)
 (EE) config/hal: NewInputDeviceRequest failed (8)
 
 but mouses seem to work again.
