I glossed over it but my setup also still needs use of AllowEmptyInput.

Here is my /usr/ports/UPDATING:

sysutils/hal has been updated and should now properly detect
mice for use in Xorg. Use of AllowEmptyInput should no longer
be needed for most users and moused should now work fine.

If you are using an older xorg.conf several 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 its 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:

I'm working on fixing hald or the mouse driver or both.
