Damn, the mailing-list ate it. Here it is:

I don't see any line showing that the HAL backend kicks in. Is hald running?

Without configuration, HAL adds all keyboard/mouse to the X server
anyway. What is configurable in HAL is mostly the keyboard layout you
want. Without this, the keyboard should be there with a US qwerty layout.

IIRC, if HAL is effectively used by the X server, you should see lines
in Xorg.log containing "config/hal".

This configuration directive disable the udev/HAL/devd backend, so it's
expected to not auto-detect any input device. I suppose the simple
presence of xf86-input-keyboard and xf86-input-mouse is enough to add
the "<default pointer>" and "<default keyboard>".
