I don't use HAL for this at all ;) After a bit of hair-pulling, I arrived at this in my xorg.conf:
Section "ServerFlags" Option "AutoAddDevices" "false" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Keyboard1" Driver "kbd" Option "AutoRepeat" "250 30" Option "XkbRules" "xorg" Option "XkbModel" "microsoftinet" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Mouse1" Driver "evdev" Option "Protocol" "auto" Option "Device" "/dev/input/event4" Option "AccelerationProfile" "2" Option "AdaptiveDeceleration" "2" Option "FilterHalflife" "5" Option "VelocityCoupling" "0.15" Option "FilterChainLength" "8" EndSection Section "ServerLayout" # ... InputDevice "Mouse1" "CorePointer" InputDevice "Keyboard1" "CoreKeyboard" EndSection Works just fine. Btw, the new mouse accelerator of X.Org 1.5 is awesome ;)
