Xorg -configure will create a very basic xorg.conf.  Usually I just copy 
the Device section out of that and into one of my own configs where all 
the excess has been removed.

First, check the Handbook X11 configuration section to see what it says 
about hal and dbus.  It describes both using them and running without.

That works, yes.

Here's a slightly-modified copy of the xorg.conf from my netbook, which 
uses hal and dbus.  You'll probably need to change the BusID to match 
your system.
