I have found a solution for this. Certain CPU-Types seem to trigger a problem
with moused. This is an example for a make.conf workaround:


# moused bug workaround
.if ${.CURDIR:M*/usr.sbin/moused}
.if defined(CPUTYPE)
.if ${CPUTYPE} == core2
CPUTYPE=athlon64
.elif ${CPUTYPE} == pentium-m
CPUTYPE=pentium3
.endif
.endif
.endif


I suspect the problem is a gcc bug.

I tried this and it didn't work ( I rebuilt moused , confirmed pentium3 and pentium4 (tried both) were used and installed, rebooted. I also rebuilt + reinstall all of world just in case).

Removing moused from rc.conf fixes the problem (but leaves me w/o usb mouse)

Jun-uk's posting about Xorg-server w/o HAL support did the trick. I'm now working again with moused, usb mouse + touchpad, xorg sans-hal and no crazy refresh/choppiness issues.

thanks!!!

I sense much NT in you.
NT leads to Bluescreen.
Bluescreen leads to downtime.
Downtime leads to suffering.
NT is the path to the darkside.
Powerful Unix is.

I speak for myself, not my employer. Contents may be hot. Slippery when wet. Reading disclaimers makes you go blind. Writing them is worse. You have been Warned.
