I discovered that compiling all ports on the relevant machine made it compile and start. Isn't it odd that the ones compiled on a slightly different i386 machine didn't? Anyway, the mouse still doesn't work in X, and from what I'm hearing, it's possible to get the mouse to work in X without it, so I am going to get rid of hal. By the way, any ideas on why the mouse input mightn't work in X? It's a usb mouse, but moused in text mode works with it. Cheers.
