Read /usr/portsUPDATING wrt xorg. There were major changes in the config file=20
and peripheral detection between 7.1 and 7.2
You need to make sure that both dbus and hald are running. Remove the mouse=20
and keyboard sections from your xorg.conf file. They are no longer needed.=20
Make sure to remove any line that references RgbPath.
This may help to get the mouse working (ignore the DontZap line):
Section "ServerFlags"
Option "DontZap" "No"
Option "AllowEmptyInput" "No"
EndSection
This should get DRI working:
Section "DRI"
Group 0
Mode 0660
EndSection
