Same thing here. I just tried again to get hal, evdev and all his "drive me crazy" friends to work, it doesn't. It appears to me that hal will be disabled in package.use for xorg-server FOREVER. I'm sick of messing with evdev. I'm waiting on something better to come along. I bet someone does come up with something better too. This has been a PITA since it came out. I'm sticking with what works, xorg,conf and no evdev. It has worked for years and it still does. Dale :-) :-)
