What version are you running? 1.4? -current? I don't have any
problems with 1.4.x, excepting that 1.4 is rather slow -- a bug
that was fixed in 1.4.1, IIRC. On the other hand, I always start
X up via xdm. Could you try that and see if it works? That may
narrow the problem down a little. Also, could you check what the
major and minors of /dev/wskbd0 and /dev/wsmouse0 are?
