I am working with Android 2.2 x86 (Froyo).

After entering into the console, I issued a ps command and got the Kpsmoused daemon. What is it?

USER PID PPID VSIZE RSS WCHAN PC NAME root 1116 0 0 c103ea42 00000000 S kpsmoused

It is the PS/2 mouse driver. See PS/2 interface and protocol and http://www.computer-engineering.org/ps2mouse/.
