7.2-STABLE X mouse & keyboard issues

[stan]

I just built a brand new 7.2 STABLE machine, and the xorg package. startx
brings up a nice screen, but neither the mouse, nor the keyboard (both USB)
function in X.

I have not created a /etx/X11/ config file yet. Do I need to do so? If so,
what;s the best way?
