	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).
