A quick search should indicate the solution. Xorg prefers using HALD for hardware access. If the Hal Daemon isn't running, regular keyboard/mouse input won't work. You can add the following to /etc/rc.conf to automatically start the HAL and DBus daemons: dbus_enable="YES" hald_enable="YES" After adding, use the following commands to start the services: /usr/local/etc/rc.d/dbus start /user/local/etc/rc.d/hald start Alternatively, you can add the following line to the ServerLayout section of your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file: Option "AllowEmptyInput" "false" Hope this helps.
