    my desktop:
    it# wc -l /etc/rc.conf
          21 /etc/rc.conf

    my router:
    buh# wc -l /etc/rc.conf
          32 /etc/rc.conf

    Please send the output of:
    it# dmesg | grep ps2
    or
    it# cat /var/run/dmesg.boot | grep psm

    man moused will give you some hints.
    Especilly:
    -d Enable debugging messages.

    -f Do not become a daemon and instead run as a foreground process.
               Useful for testing and debugging.

    -i info Print specified information and quit.
