The mouse pointer = won't move, and the only keyboard input that does anything is = CTRL-ALT-F1 etc. to switch virtual terminals. If I install FreeBSD 7.1, which installs Xorg straight from the = installation CD, it works fine. Under version 8, I've tried installing = from ports and packages, and I get this problem. When I first had this problem, I was running it under VirtualBox, so I = thought maybe it was because VirtualBox's FreeBSD support is incomplete. = But now I've tried it on real PC hardware, and I have the same problem. Obviously some people must be running X under FreeBSD 8, so I must be = doing something wrong in my installation or configuration, but I can't = guess what it is.
