moused is for serial mice. based on your dmesg output below, you have a
pms(4) mouse, so you don't need to run moused. look at the pms man page.
You'll see that a wsmouse device is attached to the pms device at autoconfig
time, therefore no moused is needed.

try changing wsmouse0 to wsmouse above. You want to use the mouse
multiplexer device, e.g. if you attach a  usb mouse, it will be
wsmouse1 and both sets of mouse signals get multiplexed through
/dev/wsmouse.
