In theory, if you specify nothing in xorg.conf (ie. if you do not disable
the use of HAL, and if you do not override the keyboard layout) the HAL
settings in /etc should take full effect.

I admit he whole HAL and UDEV thing is a bit of black magic. They also
depend on some unlikely kernel options, but that is only an issue if you
compile your own kernel.

Thanks for the info. I think I'll stick to the old xorg.conf way for
simplicity...
