This was under the amd64 version of FreeBSD (hardware is a Tyan S4882 quad

I've only installed a few programs from packages at installation time;
almost all of my installations and upgrades have been by compiling from

I had similar problems with the mouse and keyboard when Xorg 7.4 first

I had to add the following when moving from Xorg 6 to 7 since moused no

moused_enable=NO

which turns on hald and dbus.
