Public bug reported:

Since some time between Alpha3 and Alpha4 X is unable to load evdev_drv
at gdm startup time.  The relevant error message is:

(EE) config/hal: couldn't initialise context: (null) ((null))

If gdm is later restarted, everything works fine, so this appears to be
a race between hal / dbus startup and gdm / X startup.

Description:    Ubuntu intrepid (development branch)
Release:        8.10

hal:
  Installed: 0.5.11-3~ubuntu7
  Candidate: 0.5.11-3~ubuntu7
  Version table:

        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

xserver-xorg-input-evdev:
  Installed: 1:2.0.3-2
  Candidate: 1:2.0.3-2
  Version table:
 *** 1:2.0.3-2 0

I am tempted to put a delay into the gdm startup to test whether this
resolves the issue.
