...And if your mouse is a USB mouse and you use the moused, then 
remove the entries for moused in /etc/rc.conf and instead put 
your moused options (listed in "man moused") into /etc/usbd.conf

Here is the pertinent part of my /etc/usbd.conf file:

device "Mouse"
        devname "ums[0-9]+"
        attach "/usr/sbin/moused -p /dev/${DEVNAME} 
-I /var/run/moused.${DEVNAME}.pid -3 -w4 ; /usr/sbin/vidcontrol 
-m on"

I have a logitech "Marble Mouse USB," that includes four buttons 
and a trackball. The "-3" option above, in /etc/usbd.conf, 
causes my mouse to act as though a "middle button" (a button 
number 2) is pressed whenever I press the left and right buttons 
(buttons 1 and 3). The "-w4" option to moused causes the 4th 
button (the third physical button, since the second button is 
emulated as mentioned above with the -3 option) to act as a 
"scroll lock" button, which means that when I press that small 
button and move the trackball, the contents of the window in X 
scrolls instead of the cursor moving. Very handy--
