Comment out the relevant crap in devd.conf(5).  Search for "ums"
and comment out the two "notify" sections.

That's one way to do it, I guess.

Be aware that I do not use X, however I have repeatedly seen mentioned
on these lists problems/complexities from where people rely on moused(8)
to "drive their mouse" while inside of X (or possibly that X and
moused(8) are both simultaneously polling the mouse).  There's
apparently a very specific kind of X configuration you're supposed to
use to get proper mouse/keyboard/HAL/HID/whatever support, and tons of
people have it wrongt.  Warren Block I think has some insights into
this, or could maybe help shed some light on what I'm remembering.
