If you are using an older xorg.conf serveral config lines are
no longer needed and will generate warnings when X is started.
RgbPath will cause X to fail to start, remove it from your config.
Server 1.5.3 also really wants to configure it's input devices
via hald. This is causing some issues with moused and
/dev/sysmouse. There are a couple of options for how to deal
with it.
1. Add Option "AllowEmptyInput" "off" to your ServerLayout section.
This will cause X to use the configured kbd, mouse, and vmmouse
sections from your xorg.conf
2. Don't use moused. If you want it to work with addon usb mice
set this in rc.conf:
moused_enable="NO"
moused_nondefault_enable="NO"
I'm working on fixing hald or the mouse driver or both.
