Also by Benjamin Kaduk :Has this computer successfully run other versions of FreeBSD with X? I seem to recall there can be odd interactions with hald, xorg.conf, and others.

I have generated an xorg.conf file . Into the xorg.conf file and ServerLayout part , I have inserted Option "AutoAddDevices" "Off" The USB Mouse and Keyboard , Fluxbox started to work as expected in the graphical mode under X . Without the above statement about Option , the error message is : (EE) config/hal : couldn't initialise context . unknown error (null)
This line appears if x11-servers/xorg-server was built with the HAL option enabled.
In FreeBSD 9.0 RC1 i386 , such a step is NOT necessary .
They should be the same. On i386, maybe xorg-server was built with the HAL option disabled?
