Keyboard/mouse/wireless not working

Hi everyone, my keyboard and synaptics touchpad mouse are not working with X.

What do I have to do :\

Laptop: Gateway MX8734
 
Wait! I GOT IT :D Had to make HAL start by editing rc.conf and adding:
Code:
hald_enable="YES"

Now a new problem arises... How do I get my wireless card: The Realtex 8187 (rtl8187 in linux) to work??

You'd need dbus, too, but maybe already had it. See the Handbook X11 Config chapter.

Use the man pages to search for it:
% apropos 8187
Code:
urtw(4)                  - Realtek RTL8187B/L USB IEEE 802.11b/g wireless network device

And then read that man page:
% man 4 urtw
