USB mice have worked without hal for a long time. It's just hotplugging that won't work.
Well, I recently copied /etc/group.pacnew to /etc/group which didn't have the hal and gdm groups. HAL didn't start, and when I started KDE (xinit startkde) or GDM or KDM, neither keyboard nor mouse worked. After adding hal group, it worked fine, since HAL started succesfully.
But did you put it in your xorg.conf file?
What to put ?
in addition to what Ty posted there is also http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Get_All_Mouse_Buttons_Working that has some pointers
I don't have seven mouse buttons. The mouse and keyboard is already configured in xorg.conf using drivers mouse and kbd. If I stop hal, and then start Xorg, it doesn't work. I've to hard reset my box. -- Nilesh Govindarajan Site & Server Administrator www.itech7.com
