In addition to my previous mail, here are some more settings to
look at closely:

1.
Please make the following entry in
/etc/rc.conf
 hald_enable="YES"
 dbus_enable="YES"


2.
Please make the following entry in
$HOME/.xinitrc
 exec your-wm

where your-wm can be 
 twm
 dwm
 startkde
 /usr/local/bin/startxfce4


3. 
Please make the following entry in 
$HOME/.Xdefaults
  XTerm*background:    #000000
  XTerm*foreground:    #FFFFFF
  XTerm*font: -*-andale mono-*-*-monospaced-*-17-*-*-*-*-0-*-*
  XTerm*highlightSelection:    true
  !XTerm*jumpScroll:    true
  XTerm*saveLines:     9999
  XTerm*geometry:      64x40


Hope this helps.


thanks
Saifi.
