Just make sure AllowEmptyInput "Off" is not present in your xorg.conf. 
If it's not that, well...



I have a plan to install 9.0 on that desktop box, when it

in mind as a replacement for old one, cause it takes i3 cpu

branch 9?


The KMS stuff will probably come after 9-RELEASE.  It sounds promising 
so far.

Not a solution to your problem, but a data point:

I have a WD Passport 750GB (2.5") drive with an UFS filesystem on it.  I
don't think I've tried shutdown with the drive mounted, but I've
experienced no problems after the drive has spun down, including umount.
There is just a delay while it spins up.  This is on 8.2-REL/i386, that
is, with the new USB stack.

This might sound stupid, but I want to be sure and not recompile
again. To have usb keyboard working I had to add usb stack to the
kernel. In a hurry I put all uhci, ohci and ehci, with ukbd also.
What of this in necessary for kb? I suppose ehci and ukbd.


Keyboards are low speed, so ohci and uhci; see ukbd(4).


Btw, after usb addage, I have strange 3 seconds freeze in X, once
it's up. Not at the start, but some 2-5 minutes later. Branch 8.


Not enough information to tell.  In X, could be our old friend
