I currently have X running with HAL and without those
symptoms. I _believe_ the cure, as discused, was
a) rebuilding libxcb per UPDATING
b) rebuilding xorg-server
c) adding
Option "AllowEmptyInput" "off"
Option "AutoAddDevices" "off"
to the ServerFlags section on the config file.
While we're talking about symptoms ... anyone else having
problems with NumLock/CapsLock? At the moment, once activated the
effect is permanent (have to restart X); further presses change the
keyboard light, but not the state (i.e. all characters ARE NOW
CAPS).
