I think hal is used to configure everything that wasn't configured from
xorg.conf. When you take your USB keyboard out and stuff it in your
laptop for example, it will get recognized by hal and configured by
Xorg, but as it's a new device without configuration, there's no
keyboard mapping done on the keyboard.
I don't think messing around with fdi files is the way to configure
Xorg, that's why you have xorg.conf.
