I am having issues with my keyboard running FreeBSD 9-RELEASE. It is

still use ctrl-alt-F1 (or whatever) to break back out to the console, and
from there can kill X and relaunch. It cuts out within a minute or so
every time though, so the computer is pretty much unusable under X.
I've seen similar problems on the FreeBSD forums, and tried to follow the
advice there, namely:
1) Ensuring the half and dubs daemons are running
hald and dbus...
2) Setting [Option "AutoAddDevices" "Off"] in xorg.conf
This tells X not to use hald. If you window manager/desktop environment
does not require hald, not running hald at all might fix the problem.
dbus can be kept. AFAIK, xfce is the only desktop environment that
doesn't need hald, but all the simpler window managers should be fine.
