I successfully removed Hal from my desktop machine some time ago. Today, I tried removing it from my ASUS EEE netbook : I dropped 'hald' from the default runlevel, & recompiled Xorg-server + Xf86-input-synaptics with USE="-hal", but after X opens, everything is frozen (no touchpad, no keys).
I'd try recompiling xf86-input-evdev as well. If that doesn't fix the problem then start looking through the X logfile for error messages. How is the touchpad connected to the notebook?
