Wow, thanks for the fast response, I'll jump on that.  I have another problem,
it seems to want the sysutils/hal port, but the hal port (for FreeBSD-current)
seems to be broken, it's detecting USB_GET_REPORT_ID as a missing symbol and not
an include.  I looked at the probe-hiddev.c file, I think that the usb including
is broken.  I could fix it, but is this true, is the hal port busted?  Should I
begin changing my copy of the port?

Or is there some way to specifically avoid using dbus & hal for kde?  I really
dislike them for the poor level of FreeBSD (dbus & hal) documentation, and would
really rather not use them unless I must (I'd rather wait for a year or two
until it becomes more stable).  While they're well doc'ed for Linux use, the
stuff that it wants from FreeBSD (interfacing to devices) is exactly the area
that FreeBSD is most unlike Linux in.  Is there any way to avoid them?
