nope. The hal crap has been added to X a while ago as "optional" (meaning X would just freeze without it, but at least pretend to start) , but the forced dependency is new (as in, it doesnt start when compiled with hal, but no hal present). The difference is that previously you could get get away with a hack in xorg.conf without having to rebuild xorg without --enable-config-hal
Looks like nobody ever reads documentation. Read the freaking wiki link posted when upgrading/installing xorg-server and you'll know you can disable hal interaction from xorg.conf with one single option. Is it that hard?
