It should be possible to make that the sole entry in xorg.conf:

Section "ServerLayout"
 	Option "AutoAddDevices" "Off"
EndSection

Defaults will be used for the rest.  (I have not tried this, though.)

Another option which people seem to miss is to just build xorg-server 
with the HAL option disabled.  At least for xfce, HAL is not required 
and provides no benefits, so why run it?
