I recently screwed up my FreeBSD workstation and have been trying, with little luck, to restore it to its previous settings. At this point, the only remaining problem (that I know of at least) is getting X11 to work. Startx only works with root, but the keyboard and mouse don't work, X11 will only start for non-root users if it's invoked by xinit- the keyboard and mouse don't work here either. When I try to startx as a non-root user I get a looped error stating "No protocol specified". I have enabled dbus and hald in /etc/rc.conf, gone through all the usual steps to getting X up and running, and I am at a complete loss as to what to do. I am considering completely removing and reinstalling anything that has to do with X11. Does anyone have knowledge as to how one would go about doing this or perhaps be able to suggest an alternative?
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated
