Initially mouse and keyboard didnt work even with correct xorg settings. Now you need hald_enable="YES" and dbus_enable="YES" in /etc/rc.conf and the ms / kbd will be detected. Apparently this behaviour can be overridden in xorg.conf itself with ; Option "AutoAddDevices" "off" Option "AutoEnableDevices" "off" To the Section "ServerFlags" Also, when creating your new xorg.conf (Xorg -configure) its best to add Option "DontZap" "false" otherwise ctrl-alt-backspc wont get out out of X and you end up pressing power button. I also founf that X -config xorg.config.new -retro is best way to test new xorg.conf > I never needed hald to have keyboard and mouse under X working You might with the latest version ... > >> However, I have noticed that the GBP symbol does not work?
