Keyboard doesn't work in Gnome

I had tried to install Gnome on FreeBSD 9.0 but my keyboard does not work on it. Look at the lines that I added to rc.conf:

Code: 
hald_enable="YES"
dbus_enable="YES"
gnome_enable="YES"
linux_enable="YES"

PS: thank you for helping me, @cpu82, with Firefox.

Note that gnome_enable includes hald_enable and dbus_enable variables.

Change your /etc/rc.conf entries:
Code: 
hald_enable="YES"
dbus_enable="YES"
linux_enable="YES"

Paste your xorg.conf using some service like pastebin.com and paste here the URL.

Please, look in your /var/log/Xorg.0.log and /var/log/messages for any errors.
 
Not related to your problem but please upgrade to 9.1. FreeBSD 9.0 has been end of life since the end of March.
 
You can add the following line to the "ServerLayout" section of your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file:
Code: 
Option "AllowEmptyInput" "false"


See xorg.conf(5) for details. Also reads Section 6.4.2 in the FreeBSD Handbook.

PS. Follows @SirDice's advice: you should upgrade your system to 9.1.
9.1-RELEASE is an extended support releases and will be supported by the FreeBSD Security Team until it's End-of-Life (EoL) date of December 31st 2014. As 9.1-RELEASE got delayed, the EoL of 9.0-RELEASE has been pushed to March 31st 2013 to allow people sufficient time to upgrade. As always all EoL dates can be found at http://security.FreeBSD.org/.
