There are moused lines in /etc/rc.conf, and the mouse is working well.

The question I wanted to ask is: why does the mouse start working
BEFORE moused is started?

Hypothesis after reading "man syscons": The syscons driver displays
the mouse pointer.  moused is only responsible for handling
copy-and-paste.  That would explain why I see the mouse pointer (and
can move it) before moused is started.

kai at slowfox$ grep mouse /etc/rc.conf 
moused_enable="YES"
moused_flags="-z 4"
