Add the following to your X11 config and see what you come up with.

         option  "AutoAddDevices"        "off"
         option  "AllowEmptyInput"       "off"

Best regards

All right, I did that.

What are you trying to fix with those entries?

Created a new xorg.conf since it's working with the autoconfig now.

And what is in it?

The mouse and keyboard still work, and Xorg.0.log follows.

(EE) config/hal: NewInputDeviceRequest failed (8)
(II) config/hal: Adding input device AT Keyboard
(EE) config/hal: NewInputDeviceRequest failed (8)

Well, that's broken. Look, there are basically two ways to configure keyboard and mouse for xorg. There's the old way, where you have InputDevice entries for them in xorg.conf.

Then there's the new way, where you run hal and let it handle the keyboard and mouse for xorg. No InputDevice sections are needed. For example, here is my xorg.conf from the Acer Aspire One. Note the lack of InputDevice sections and those magic ServerFlags options.
