wblock@ said:Those entries in /etc/rc.conf are only used on system startup. They won't take effect until the system is restarted. Until then, they can be started manually:
# service dbus start
# service hald start
hald_enable="YES"
dbus_enable="YES"
Option "AutoAddDevices" "false"
Option "AllowEmptyInput" "true"

Do NOT use AllowEmptyInput!

I have the same problem! After installing FreeBSD 9-RELEASE the mouse and keyboard did not work in X. I added a line in xorg.conf:
Now the mouse and keyboard work, but the system is working very slow!Code:Option "AllowEmptyInput" "true"
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/hald status
hald is not running
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/hald start
Shared object "libpcre.so.0" not found, required by "libdbus-glib-1.so.2"
service dbus start
showed it as running; but service hald start/cmd] always responded with [file]hald starting up[/file]. What solved it for me, was either swapping the order of the commands in [file]/etc/rc.conf[/file] -so dbus was first, then hald, or mounting the [file]proc[/file] filesystem. Not too sure, as I did both before rebooting. Mounting the [file]proc[/file] file system is only a couple of paragraphs ahead in the handbook.
