Yup, seems like I am. Ah, well, I'm here to learn, too.
So then, the next step seems to be to check whether hald is installed and running. You know
$ pkg_info hal\* # Tells you if hald is installed, if not install /usr/ports/systils/hal (exact method depends on whether you are using portmaster of portupdate for package management)
$ ps -wax |grep hald #Tells you if hald is running. If not, then, well, it depends on the port, but generally, edit /etc/rc.conf to add a line like hald_enable="yes", and run /usr/local/etc/rc.d/hald start. Examine the script in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/hald for the exact instructions.
