Are you using WITH_NEW_XORG? What is in your xorg.conf? Can you provide an
Xorg.0.log file? Did you build the X ports or use pkg to install them? Do
you startx or ue a dislay managr (xdm, kdm, gdm, etc)? USB or laptop mouse
and keyboard?

There have been several recent reports of problems with the keyboard and
mouse but I m not sure that I have sen a common issue here. If you just
moved to NEW_XORG and updated the port that went to a new version, you do
need to rebuild/re-install the keyboard and mouse drivers even though they
are not a new version.
