Restarting moused

[sossego]

I have tried
#/etc/rc.d/moused restart
followed by
$startx /usr/local/kde4/bin/safestartkde
and the result was an unresponsive mouse.
I stopped X with ^C on ttyv1.

How do I enable the daemon without rebooting the system?

Restart hal after you restart moused.

If you have an USB mouse just unplug and plug it back in.
