So I've run the Xorg update. I've come across a number of problems (the
biggest of which was needed to rebuilt xfce and losing all my settings).
The one I'm having real difficulty with at the moment is using a UK
keyboard layout. Previously I had this line in my xorg.conf under the
Keyboard InputDevice section:
Option XkbLayout gb
This doesn't work any more, so I followed the advice in this post:
http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=140908+0+archive/2009/freebsd-questions/20090208.freebsd-questions
to put the relevant entry in /usr/local/etc/hal/fdi/policy/x11-input.fdi
Still no joy. I get these lines in Xorg.0.log:
(II) Loading /usr/local/lib/xorg/modules/input//kbd_drv.so
(II) Module kbd: vendor=X.Org Foundation
compiled for 1.5.3, module version = 1.3.2
Module class: X.Org XInput Driver
ABI class: X.Org XInput driver, version 2.1
(**) AT Keyboard: always reports core events
(**) Option Protocol standard
(**) AT Keyboard: Protocol: standard
(**) Option AutoRepeat 500 30
(**) Option XkbRules xorg
(**) AT Keyboard: XkbRules: xorg
(**) Option XkbModel pc105
(**) AT Keyboard: XkbModel: pc105
(**) Option XkbLayout us
(**) AT Keyboard: XkbLayout: us
I'm getting around it at the moment by getting xfce to run this at startup:
setxkbmap gb
But that's hardly an ideal solution. Can anyone suggest a better one?
Have you tried adding the:
Option AutoAddDevices off
Option AutoEnableDevices off
settings in the ServerFlags section of xorg.conf? That should disable
the hal/dbus detections and use just the settings you have spelled out
in xorg.conf (which shouldn't be too much of an issue if you already
had a fully configured xorg.conf before the upgrade to 7.4).

Thanks for this Matt, that was the answer - I hadn't figured how to get hal
turned off for xorg.
Thanks again,
Peter Harrison.
TIA.
