It's not required, you can still build, install and run xorg-server
WITHOUT_HAL=yes. But you need to add a line in your /etc/xorg.conf
(don't have mine at the moment, look at /usr/src/UPDATING). I think
that is, in the ServerFlags section :
Option "AutoAddDevices" "false"

"Me too". But I updated and I don't have problems without hal and
dbus. I still use moused/sysmouse.
