I've installed FreeBSD 7.2 with Xorg 7.4 server, but mouse (usb)

I've find out that Xorg now uses hal and dbus to configure mouse and
maybe this is a problem.
xorg-server uses if configured to use hal.
When I start hald (/usr/local/etc/rc.d/hald start) it don't tell anything, even
in
verbose mode, except of:
#/usr/local/sbin/hald --verbose=yes
22:48:16.400 [I] hald.c:669: hal 0.5.11
22:48:16.400 [I] hald.c:678: Will daemonize
22:48:16.400 [I] hald.c:679: Becoming a daemon
But:
#ps aux | grep hal
mutex 68396 0.0 0.1 1660 1060 p0 D+ 10:48PM 0:00.00 grep hal
So I think it doesn't starts.
dbus_enable="YES" and hald_enable="YES" in /etc/rc.conf?
This is my xorg.conf (generated by `Xorg -configure):
---------------
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "X.org Configured"
Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0
InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection
Section "ServerFlags"
Option "AutoAddDevises" "off"
EndSection
That's spelled wrong. ("AutoAddDevices")
By turning that off, you are telling xorg-server to ignore hal detection
of devices. So even if hal was running, it would be ignored.
If you let xorg use hal, you can remove the InputDevice sections above
and below.
The Handbook section on xorg configuration is pretty thorough:
