under X, frozen keys, no mouse

[Henry Olyer]

I see:

Setting master
xclock: not found
Dropping master

While the root screen has:

drm0: <Intel i845G GMCH>  on vgapci0

vgapci0: child drm0 requested pci_enable_busmaster

info:  [drm]  AGP at 0xf0000000 128NB

info:  [drm]  Initialized i915 1.6.0


I have:

hald_enable=YES

in the boot up conf file (/boot/loader.conf)

and

Option "AutoAddDevice" Off

Option "IgnoreEmptyInput" Off

in the xorg.conf file
