Make ums(4) present the mouse as a sysmouse type device by default

are you sure that you are using the latest Xorg version from pkgsrc? 
There recently was a fix concerning moused.

:my mouse, and I have to modify ums(4) to use the right mode by default.

moused works perfectly with my 3 button/wheel usb mouse here.  what does

	moused -d -f -p /dev/ums0

output?

    See if that works and if it does and there is no equivalent moused
    option, we can add a new option to moused to do the ioctl.  Or, rather,
    if you make the modification to moused and submit the patch we'll commit
    it.  I'd prefer that over changing the device driver's default mode.
definitely.  but i think moused should already support the best mode 
possible.
