X11 mouse driver and USB mouse disconnection

[Scott Spare]

Aragon and Robert,
Fantastic.  Thank you.

The fix in my case:
Exactly as you guys mentioned, hald needed to be enabled.
This system was upgraded from an older version - my guess is I missed
enabling hald while running mergemaster during an upgrade.

The details:
I added
hald_enable="YES"
to /etc/rc.conf

and then tried running hald by issuing this command:
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/hald start

I got errors saying dbus wasn't properly configured either, so I did the
same for it.
Added
dbus_enable="YES"
to /etc/rc.conf
and started dbus and hald.

Works like a champ.  Thanks!
