 Thanks for your feeedback.
 
 When you used FreeBSD 8.x, do you remember if you used Radeon or VESA
 driver? Because your integrated GPU is fairly recent and it's surprising
 if it was supported on FreeBSD 8.x.
 
 On FreeBSD 10, I suggest you follow these instructions to use the new
 Radeon driver:
   https://wiki.freebsd.org/Graphics#Installing_KMS_Ports
 
 You'll end up with a newer X.Org server/drivers and libGL. They support
 your card.
 
 There's one caveat with this new driver: once an X session is started,
 you won't be able to use the console anymore. That means that
 VT-switching with Ctrl+Alt+Fx and exiting from X.Org will only give you
 a black screen. If this is unacceptable for you, keep using VESA.
 
 Now, about your input devices problem: xorg-server is built with HAL by
 default. You have to enable hald (hald_enable="YES" in your
 /etc/rc.conf) so that X.Org server can autodetect your input devices.
 And you don't need an xorg.conf file to configure them in this case.
