I have read the wiki and actually changed the xorg.conf to have the
"AutoAddDevice" off.  I am not against PnP, it helps. But I think this
is not the business of xorg. It should be the business of KDE/GNOME or
what not (although I am not sure whether the window manager has
control over such issues). 

One of the (if not the) reason I like Arch and BSDs over say Debian is
the simplicity. The Arch developers have really done a great job
here. I dont want a X server that is overly complicated and kills the
joy of Arch.
