OK, and since xorg-server-1.7 doesn't have a udev USE flag, I should
probably stick with hal until 1.8. Please let me know if that isn't
the case. I'm on udev-149.
If HAL is working for you, stick with it. If not, turn it off. Xorg
1.7 works equally well with or without HAL. The main difference is how
much manually configuration you need to do.
The relative stability of using/not using udev with Xorg 1.8 have yet to
determined.

Even tho I'm not much on hal, if it works, use it. If it is not
working, then switch to udev, back to having a xorg.conf file or
whatever else will work for you.
Sometimes it just depends on your hardware. Some systems like one
software package to manage things and another system will work better
with something else. You just have to find one that works and stick
with it.
