how to disable moused?

P

For some reason moused starts automatically when my system boots even though I don't have anything set for it in /etc/rc.conf. The problem is when I run X - the mouse doesn't work. If I do "pkill moused" and restart X, the mouse works just fine. How can I prevent moused from starting up automatically?

Thanks! :D

USB mice load moused automagically. This can be turned off but then the mouse won't work on the console.

Add Option "AllowEmptyInput" "off" to your ServerLayout section in xorg.conf.

Make sure the mouse driver in xorg.conf is set to Option Protocol "auto" and Option Device "dev/sysmouse".

Or remove any and all references to mice from xorg.conf and make sure hald is running.
