Sounds like you should install HAL or disable Xorg hotplugging. It's detailed in the beginner's guide

what wilco said.

start hal using "sudo /etc/rc.d/hal start" before starting xorg. if mouse/keyboard work, add hal to the DAEMONS array in /etc/rc.conf.

imo disabling hotplugging is cheap, just ignoring a problem instead of solving it smile

If he don't need hotplugging, then there is no reason to use it...
