A quick search should indicate the solution.  Xorg prefers using HALD 
for hardware access.  If the Hal Daemon isn't running, regular 
keyboard/mouse input won't work.

You can add the following to /etc/rc.conf to automatically start the HAL 
and DBus daemons:

dbus_enable="YES"
hald_enable="YES"

After adding, use the following commands to start the services:

/usr/local/etc/rc.d/dbus start
/user/local/etc/rc.d/hald start

Alternatively, you can add the following line to the ServerLayout 
section of your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file:

Option "AllowEmptyInput" "false"

Hope this helps.
