Therefore, we are more verbose in this > new post. Please tell us if you're still missing something! Working here on a Radeon HD5750 with vt(4). Also working on the HP 2133 netbook with the OpenChrome driver. It did not work with xorg-server 1.12. kern.vty=vt is entered in /boot/loader.conf, but does not seem to matter. Likely this is due to the OpenChrome driver not using KMS. Thanks!

Beware that X11 should not attach to all input/event devices, only those that have the x11-driver property, as set by HAL. Can you define how X.org shall distinguish between event devices which it shall attach to and event devices which it shall not attach to? --HPS
