man xorg.conf search for Input...

This provides absolutely no help.

I look at my /var/log/Xorg.0.log and it tells me nothing. If I remove the keyboard and mouse input devices from xorg.conf, the log tells me that it is disabling all input devices and never says anything else. There is no evidence that hal does anything that X want to know about. How would I detect that my configuration file needs changing? Is there a message in Xorg.0.log to look for? Is there a help file somehwere which explains how to change your configuration file to allow hal to work?

I cannot find any information anywhere in the system to allow me to debug my problems in any way. I want to have fully automatic configuration using whatever means will allow it. You explanations about the mysterious behavior of hal and xorg do not give me any information I can use in any way to solve my problems.

Set Options "AutoAddDevices" "off" and you have to configure everything
like you used to.
I WANT to use the new facilities. Is it possible to debug my configuration problems? Where do I start? How do I enable this magical new world of letting hal do things for me? What changes do I make to xorg.conf to allow this?
Ok, are you using gdm, xdm, or startx?

You need to ensure that dbus and hald are running first.  Set
dbus_enable="YES" and hald_enable="YES" in your rc.conf.
This FAQ says to remplace dbus/hal by gnome_enable="YES"

Correct, if you using gnome, that will enable hal and dbus.
