 I actually solved this one with the help of the Warren Block from 
 freebsd-questions at .
 
 There was an option in xorg.conf in section "ServerFlags":
 Option "AllowEmptyInput" "no"
 Once I removed it and added:
 Option "AutoAddDevices" "off"
 the problem with freezing disappeared.
 
 I am not sure if there is a bug that I stepped on, or this is expected. 
 I don't know why "AllowEmptyInput"="no" interfered with hald, but it did.
 I believe it shouldn't interfere.
