1. Get to a terminal (ctl-alt-F2 should get you there).
2. Log in as root.
3. Execute: 'Xorg -config'
This command should probe your hardware and create a sample
xorg.conf file ("xorg.conf.new", I think) in root's home directory.
4. Using your favorite console-based editor, edit the new xorg.conf.new file.
In the "ServerLayout" section, add the following:
Option "AllowEmptyInput" "false"
5. Save the xorg.conf.new file to /etc/X11/xorg.conf
6. Make sure the following 2 lines are in /etc/rc.conf:
hald_enable="YES"
dbus_enable="YES"
Step 4 says "ignore HAL for input configuration, use mouse and keyboard
config from xorg.conf" and step 6 sets up HAL. It's best to pick one or
the other. The Handbook uses the hal version, making step 4 is
unnecessary.
