I Enabled dbus & hald and also tried changing the mouse and keyboard drivers with absolutely no luck. The fonts are installed. I have a usb mouse attached and I even tried running X and startx without it. Nothing, nada. Same stuff... black screen with flickering streaks at top. Oddly, when shutting down from frozen X run, I get the mouse X in center of screen for about a second or less before shutting down. I don't understand what the problem is with the mouse and the keyboard errors... they are not being loaded and I get the impression that the video sync or the color depth are not right... something is really rotten in Denmark or is it FreeBSD & xorg ? Or is there something I am doing wrong?
