?? 1455 lines - just curios - what did you put in there ?
my desktop:
it# wc -l /etc/rc.conf
      21 /etc/rc.conf

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.
