gdm vs hal

I just finished updating my laptop's ports and something appears to broken
between gdm and hal. First, here's the versions that I currently have installed:
gdm-2.20.4_5 GNOME 2 version of xdm display manager
hal-0.5.11.r2_5 Hardware Abstraction Layer for simplifying device access
hal-info-20080317 Additional FDI files to further classify HAL devices
Now, what happens is that with hald running, gdm starts, draws the stimpled
X background and hangs. The machine is still running, but gdm goes no further.
Without hald running, gdm starts up just fine.
Here's gdm running with hald also running:

Here's gdm running without hald:

root 56222 0.0 0.3 13584 6308 p0 S 1:42PM 0:00.05 /usr/local/sbin/gdm-binary --nodaemon
Given the recent changes to add mouse support to hald, and that /var/log/gdm/:0.log
no longer has any mention of a mouse device, I suspect that it was the hald change
that is biting me.
Any suggestions on how to fix this?
