Hi,
I know there are a million of these threads already but nothing seems to be working for me. Programs are slow to start, the mouse is jumpy every few seconds, etc. It is really apparent with videos because they are very choppy. I've used FreeBSD extensively during past releases and have never been unable to get this sorted until now with version 10. First things first, I have the hald and dbus lines in my rc.conf and have verified that they are actually installed and running when the system is up. I have tried various xorg.conf variations using x11/nvidia-xconfig,
After reading about AllowEmptyInput and the like (here) I still do not understand why things aren't working. The way I understand it is this:
1. If hald is running, there is no need to specify any InputDevice options in xorg.conf
2. If hald is not running, then InputDevice options are manually required in xorg.conf along with AutoAddDevices Off
3. Avoid AllowEmptyInput at all costs, it was a one-hit wonder and should be forgotten about
When attempting scenario [1] I removed InputDevice entries from xorg.conf but had no luck. I also tried removing xorg.conf entirely and letting hald do its thing. While the devices still worked, the issue of the sluggishness/jumpy mouse remained. When attempting scenario [2] the mouse and keyboard worked but the original problem remained.
I have checked for missing libraries via
Sorry for the super long post but I've exhausted enough time on this and would like to get this dealt with as soon as possible. The bottom line is I don't care if I use sysutils/hal or devel/dbus or whatever else, I am just interested in being able to use my system without these issues. Everything else is working and having dealt with this issue in 8.1 and 8.3 I am really dumfounded by my inability to fix it this time around. I am prepared to do a fresh install in the event I somehow screwed things up too badly, so if you think it's needed I wouldn't mind hearing it.
Thanks.

X -configure (I know, it's bad but I tried anyway) as well as manual set ups. In the past I've sort of just gone with whatever the nvidia configuration or X gave me and was good to go. The best results so far have been from the x11/nvidia-xconfig (below), however I am really confused:

pkg_libchk but nothing about x11/xorg or input devices turned up. If anyone feels like it here is a complete list of installed packages just in-case I messed up ports somehow, though I doubt it as I have updated several times and have run portmaster -f against x11-drivers/xf86-input-mouse, x11-drivers/xf86-input-keyboard, x11/xorg, x11-servers/xorg-server, and x11-drivers/xorg-drivers:

Sorry for the super long post but I've exhausted enough time on this and would like to get this dealt with as soon as possible. The bottom line is I don't care if I use sysutils/hal or devel/dbus or whatever else, I am just interested in being able to use my system without these issues. Everything else is working and having dealt with this issue in 8.1 and 8.3 I am really dumfounded by my inability to fix it this time around. I am prepared to do a fresh install in the event I somehow screwed things up too badly, so if you think it's needed I wouldn't mind hearing it.
Thanks.
