I'm not sure what gamepad.hal is - I am sure it shouldn't be part of the Puma config. According to CVS that line was added in May during a change that involved touching almost all of the configs. I think it was a mistake, at least for the Puma config. I'd suggest commenting out that line in the ini file. We'll look into what happened and fix it right later.
