Check if the built-in touchpad has been deactivated
in the CMOS setup (sometimes possible). If it does
not appear in dmesg as psm0, check if it _might_ be
connected to USB internally, so ums0 should be visitble
(and moused should be started fot it automatically).
Also check if there is a hardware switch for deactivating
the touchpad (probably not, but I don't know what
hardware you're using).

Yes, because the USB subsystem can recognize it and will
launch a moused instance automatically. With psm, it
usually is not the case; you will have to specify at
least the mouse port:

	moused_enable="YES"
	moused_port="/dev/psm0"
	moused_type="auto"

The "auto" type should work fine, though.

However, if you don't have a psm0 device, it won't help. :-(
