If in xorg, have you seen this thread on x11@? http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-x11/2012-April/011756.html http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-x11/2012-May/011851.html The proposed solution is to set AutoAddDevices off, so that hald is not used to enumerate mice/keyboards, and instead rely on explicitly configuring them in your xorg.conf. This doesn't work for me, I need working hald as I plug and unplug keyboards and mice each time I take my laptop out of its dock, so instead I boot to console, and run this ugly hack: /usr/local/etc/rc.d/gdm onestart ; sleep 20 ; /usr/local/etc/rc.d/gdm onere= start Normally after it has restarted once, X can finally talk to hald and find the mice and keyboards. Cheers Tom
