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.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] grep mouse /etc/rc.conf 
moused_enable="YES"
moused_flags="-z 4"

Moused is starting, and the mouse is working.  I have
moused_enable=YES in /etc/rc.conf (and moused_flags="-z 4", but no
other mouse-related settings afaict).

My question was: why does the mouse pointer appear and work BEFORE
moused is started?  (At least before "Starting moused" appears on the
console.)

Hm.  Is there a time lag between moused starting and the output
appearing on the console?  That would be highly unlikely I think, but
who knows...

Another thing to try would be to turn moused off, to see if the mouse
still works.  Later...

Mouse is started from /etc/rc.conf

Sounds like you did not config your mouse during the sysinstall
when you installed FBSD from CD.

You can execute /stand/sysinstall again, pick post install config,
and then config your mouse.
It will rebuilt the moused statements  in rc.conf for you.

Subject: Two programs trying to handle the mouse?

When the system boots, it will show a mouse cursor at some point.
Then, later, I see "Starting moused:", and then it will say it's
unable to open /dev/psm0 because there's no such file or directory.

Does it mean that there is another program than moused displaying
the
mouse pointer and does it mean that I can turn off moused?  Which
other program could be displaying the mouse pointer?
