Someone will certainly correct me if I'm wrong, but moused has *nothing*
to do with the mouse in X. moused runs the mouse when you are in text
mode, if you have vidcontrol set to do that. If you never run in text
mode, you can safely remove 'moused' from your rc.conf. And don't bother
fiddling with it to fix an X11 problem.
