If the desktop environment does not require it, build
x11-servers/xorg-server with the HAL option off. Otherwise, add
Option "AutoAddDevices" "Off"
to the ServerLayout section of xorg.conf. This is the entire xorg.conf
from a 9.1-STABLE VM (with HAL off):
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "xfce"
InputDevice "Mouse1"
# Option "AutoAddDevices" "Off"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "vboxmouse"
EndSection
Autoconfiguration of everything else works. The AutoAddDevices line is
not present on mine, uncomment it to disable HAL.
