You may have to specify the actual mouse type.  The default is for
moused to use "auto", but for reasons that I do not know that doesn't
always work.  You can specify the mouse type by adding another entry to
/etc/rc.conf:

moused_type="ps/2"

Again, this is assuming you are using a ps/2 mouse.  Everytime I have
ever seen a mouse pointer fly to one edge of the screen and not move
from there it was due to a wrong mouse protocol, which with moused is
specified with the moused_type directive.
