08:24 < whot> tjaalton: so he wants the server to autoconfigure everything, but
without
running the daemon that provides the information that the server
can
autoconfigure?
08:24 < whot> tjaalton: I think there's a tiny flaw in the reasoning
08:25 < tjaalton> running without xorg.conf worked before..
08:25 < tjaalton> with or without hal
08:27 < whot> tjaalton: yeah, because we always added two devices for which the
kernel did all
the hotplugging.
08:28 < whot> tjaalton: which means you always had two mute devices - default
pointer and
default keyboard
08:28 < whot> tjaalton: only if hal was broken/not working, these devices
actually did anything
so, the change that defaults to AllowEmptyInput was made because it used
to confuse users who saw that the server loaded both mouse/kbd and
evdev. I'm beginning to agree that if you don't want to have hal, you
need to have the xorg.conf...
