Eric,

Is it a USB or PS2 mouse? 

If it is USB, try this:

moused -t auto -r 300 -p /dev/ums0 -z 4

If it is PS2, try this:

moused -t auto -r 300 -p /dev/psm0 -z 4

/dev/sysmouse is used primarily to provide an interface for X to read mouse events when moused is blocking the real mouse device.

the -z 4 mouse is unnecessary, but provides support for the wheel if you have one and are using moused with X.
