Well,

I'm no expert, but I have some ideas:

I think dri is not (yet) supported, I get the same errors, but that
doesn't seem to matter.
I seems, that you have problems with your input drivers.
Have you enabled mouse support in your rc.conf? I have - perhaps it's
needed.
You are trying to use the new kbd-keyboard driver, which doesn't work
(yet). You should either try to use the keyboard-section from my config
with the deprecated "keyboard"-driver, or try Dejan Lesjak's fixed
version, which he posted last month on this list.

Good Luck!
