Keyboard works for Gnome login, but then quits

Hello,

I am trying to get gnome working in a FreeBSD VM running from OSX I am trying to stand up.

I have gotten sporadic access to the keyboard throughout the process. I am following the information on this page:

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/x-config.html

So I have edited my /etc/rc.conf file to be

Code: 
hostname="dec-bsd"
sshd_enable="YES"
ifconfig_em0="DHCP"
# Set dumpdev to "AUTO" to enable crash dumps, "NO" to disable
dumpdev="NO"
hald_enable="YES"
dbus_enable="YES"
gnome_enable="YES"

# -- sysinstall generated deltas -- # Tue Jul 24 13:55:37 2012
#moused_enable="YES"

in /etc/X11/xorg.conf there is the following:

Code: 
Section "ServerLayout"
        Identifier     "X.org Configured"
        Screen      0  "Screen0" 0 0
#       InputDevice    "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
#       InputDevice    "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"

Do these files look correct? What else can I post to help someone debug the problem? As it sits right now with these two config files, I cannot even type in my username or password when I get to the gnome login prompt.
 
Yes, I forgot to mentioned I added that line to fstab, and when I type % mount
I see

Code: 
procfs on /proc (procfs, local)
 
I can't edit my post, but the command was just "mount" obviously.

Also, I did try to execute the following command as a user:

$ echo "/usr/local/bin/gnome-session" > ~/.xinitrc

and I am able to enter my password on the gnome login window for that user. For just a second I was able to edit some text in a gedit window, however it stopped working very quickly.
