Xorg - no mouse and no keyboard

[Michael L. Squires]

I had similar problems with the mouse and keyboard when Xorg 7.4 first 
came out.  I had upgraded to 7.X from 6.X by cvsup/compile/install 
process, and then did a portupgrade.  After 
the portupgrade neither my Xinerama setup, the mouse, nor the keybord 
worked.  There was an interim fix which involved turning off the new 
option in xorg.conf so you could revert to moused since there was a bug, 
as I remember, in the intial Xorg/hal/dbus ports.  This was eventually 
solved and since then I have been using hal/dbus.

A search of this mailing list and the freebsd-x11 mailing list looking for 
messages referring to "mouse" and "7.4" should turn up the old solution.

My system uses a PS2 mouse and PS2 keyboard (actually, a real PS2 
keyboard) so it may be enough different from others so that my solution 
isn't applicable elsewhere.
