Add to /etc/rc.conf:
Code:hald_enable="YES" dbus_enable="YES"
Sorry!DutchDaemon said:That's why there's a sticky in the Xorg forum, you know ...
Boot to single user mode then:Soaringeagle said:I am having a similar problem, but I do have hald_enable="YES"
dbus_enable="YES" in the /etc/rc.conf file and kdm boots so I'm not even sure how to get back to a prompt to change any settings.
fsck -y
mount -u /
mount -a -t ufs
TWM doesn't need them, it's Xorg that uses HAL.kpedersen said:Now even Twm requires these daemons and they really only offer Mouse support etc... for it.

Remove the automatic starting of KDM until you have fixed your problem. Use startx to start X.
SirDice said:Edit /etc/ttys or /etc/rc.conf and make sure KDM doesn't start on boot. Restart your system, login as a regular user and use startx. Fix any problems, then add KDM again.
Before using startx again have a look in /var/log/Xorg.0.log. If you can, post it here.Soaringeagle said:Sorry for my ignorance, but once I use startx my system is basically frozen, no mouse, no keyboard and I have to reboot.

(II) The server relies on HAL to provide the list of input devices.
If no devices become available, reconfigure HAL or disable AllowEmptyInput

Here is the part that I think states the problem.
