Mine too. I got burnt when after one of the xorg updates few months
ago, the mouse and keyboard stopped working. The culprit, xorg
unloading the mouse and keyboard drivers and waiting for hal to send
some signals to load the appropriate drivers. This I think was
ridiculous. Many a time I use X without any windomanager whatsoever
mainly for display boards and such stuff. I dont need any PnP here.
