All variations give me a black screen with the keyboard locked. startx,

Does ctrl-alt-f1 switch to the console? If so, good news--it's working.
You need to run dbus and hal as per the Handbook page. Or disable hal,
also as per the Handbook page.
I assume this is a hardware issue and hope someone found a way around it.
It's possible, but hard to tell. If you can post your xorg.conf and
Xorg.0.log, that would help.
I appreciate your input. With the installation from pkg_add, the keyboard was
locked. Power off was the only relief.
That's why I asked about ctrl-alt-f1. If X is working even without a
keyboard driver, that should still switch to the console.
I tried with and without hal/dbus, I changed the Driver to ati because
that worked in an earlier of xorg,
What are you using for a driver now?
I commented out dri because I (mistakenly) thought that gave an error.
What worked was installing xorg from the 7.2-release iso.
Which is going back to the older version of xorg.
Now what I would like to do is get rid of the black background.
See xsetroot(1).
I actually like twm and use it when upgrading kde. Thank you for your
offer to review Xorg.0.log. Unfortunately the current system only
keeps two levels. My failures were long gone before questions was
restored to health.
When you want to try it again, I think we can make it work.
