Enable dbus and hal in rc.conf as shown here: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/x-config.html If you want to use X without hal for input device detection, add Option "AutoAddDevices" "Off" to the ServerLayout section. Do not set the AllowEmptyInput option, it is unnecessary and problematic. Or you can configure the xorg-server port without hal.
