Hi,

Why did not the xorg port build the mouse driver? Is this the expected
and normal behaviour or did I miss something?

Thanks!

Fresh install from scratch, ports built from source with defaults
selected all the way.

No mouse pointer, keyboard works. Tried:

Option "AutoAddDevices" "Off"
and even
Option "AllowEmptyInput" "off"
and compiled xorg-server without hald support.

Relevant part of log, with hald and no options in xorg.conf (same
without a xorg.conf for that matter)
