Mouse not moving in KDE4

Ok so i have installed 7.2-RELEASE amd64.

Code:
cat .xinitrc
/usr/local/kde4/bin/startkde4

Code:
startx

Mouse pointer ain't moving.

In my /etc/rc.conf
Code:
moused_enable="YES"
Mouse works on a console only but with KDE4, the mouse is freezing and not moving.

Another thing,

If I'm on the KDE with the mouse freezing, I thought ALT+F2 will run the "run program", but instead it kills X and brings me to console again.

ANy fix?

Thanks
 
Make sure hald and dbus are running too. Then that AllowEmptyInput shouldn't be needed anymore.
 
Tried
"AllowEmptyInput" "off"
on /etc/X11/xorg.conf - didn't work

Tried
Code:
moused_enable="YES"
hald_enable="YES"
dbus_enable="YES"
on /etc/rc.conf - restarted - boom ! It all works now.

One more thing, in another PC. I got an error when starting gdm. The error was about the /var/lib/dbus - socket.. I can't remember the exact file but it got something to do with socket and dbus. It was a clean install and selecting all packages in the GNOME category.

Here is what I did as I presumed will fix the problem.
Tried
Code:
moused_enable="YES"
hald_enable="YES"
dbus_enable="YES"
gdm_enable="YES"
on /etc/rc.conf - boom ! it worked.
