Preferred mouse/keyboard settings?

[Warren Block]

What are the recommended settings for mouse and keyboard with the new 
xorg?

The best I've found is:

rc.conf:  moused_enable="NO"

xorg.conf:   Option "AllowEmptyInput" "On"
              keyboard and mouse InputDevice sections removed

The downsides:

xdm run from /etc/ttys doesn't see mouse or keyboard until X is killed 
and restarted.

moused="NO" makes for a 5 to 30-second pause on switching from console 
to X.  It's run by X (or hal) in the background anyway, so there's still 
a mouse pointer on the console.  I've mentioned this before:
