Initially got bitten by not having "hald_enable" and "dbus_enable" in my /etc/rc.conf. Adding these made my mouse work. Got Nvidia's latest driver (180.25) to fix the dlopen: /usr/local/lib/xorg/modules//libwfb.so: Undefined symbol +"miZeroLineScreenIndex" problem. Thank you to Nvidia for the fast work. (-: Initially thought this upgrade was a mistake, until I found out about "hald_enable" and "dbus_enable". Upgrade would have be a lot easier if they were mentioned in /usr/ports/UPDATING. I would have found these knobs more quickly if mentioned in HALD(8). or if they had default values in /etc/rc/defaults/rc.conf. Did get a laugh out of HALD(8) telling me how to start and stop hald under Fedora. Found them by looking at the startup scripts in /usr/local/rc.d. My 7.4 xorg install now seems to be rock solid.
