Here is my config's and is working for me.
egrep "(hal|dbus)" /etc/rc.conf
# dbus_enable="YES"
# hald_enable="YES"
cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "X.org Configured"
Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0
InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
Option "AutoAddDevices" "false"
Hope this helps.
