I am having a problem with Xorg under FreeBSD 8.0 RELEASE and 8.1 RC1:

When I type startx, the X server starts, and some xterm windows open, but it will not respond to keyboard or mouse input. The mouse pointer won't move, and the only keyboard input that does anything is CTRL-ALT-F1 etc. to switch virtual terminals.

Enable dbus and hal in rc.conf as shown here:

If you want to use X without hal for input device detection, add
Option "AutoAddDevices" "Off" to the ServerLayout section. Do not set the AllowEmptyInput option, it is unnecessary and problematic. Or you can configure the xorg-server port without hal.
