Enabling DBUS in VmWare Fusion vm shows VMWare + DragonFly BSD is not so great.

[Warren Postma]

I am able to work around the problem with using hald + dbus causing a
kernel crash (with an endless stream of DMA size too large error
messages ("ata1: FAILURE - oversized DMA transfer attempt...") by not
enabling dbus, only moused,  and X.org will detect a mouse if I create
an xorg.conf file and place it in the right place.

I updated the handbook's X topic on the wiki to suggest that while
dbus + hald are beneficial for most X-Window systems running on real
hardware, they are of little use in a VMWare VM.
