Ok, I've had a few hours to poke around: it seems that calling the
config_devd_init/fini functions is not done in config/config.c, is it
by design?

If I put it, I begin to have some function if ServerFlags
AutoAddDevices and AutoEnableDevices:
[  2961.464] (II) config/devd: Adding input device Keyboard
(/dev/atkbd0)
[  2961.464] (II) No input driver specified, ignoring this device.
[  2961.464] (II) This device may have been added with another device
file.
[  2961.464] (II) config/devd: Adding input device Mouse (/dev/psm0)
[  2961.464] (II) No input driver specified, ignoring this device.
[  2961.464] (II) This device may have been added with another device
file.

This is were InputClass section should came in handy, I suppose, but I'm not sure this is the keyboard xserver should be using (reports unavailable when I try to set a driver) and I remember fighting against HAL to use /dev/sysmouse (moused is enabled) in favor of /dev/psm0 for the mouse device.

Also, despite even adding init/fini function to config/config.c, xserver still don't acknowledge I am using a hotpplugin backend :
[  4066.978] (WW) Hotplugging requested but the server was compiled
without a config backend. No input devices were configured, the server
will start without any input devices.

I'll try to poke around later, but I may not have time for this for a few days.
