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.
