To remove Hal : drop '-hal' flag, add 'udev' flag ;
update to Xorg-server >= 1.8.0 -drivers >= 1.8
Xinit >= 1.2.1 + drivers ;
re-merge Exo Thunar ;
delete refs to 'mouse' 'keyboard' in xorg.conf ;
remove 'hald' fr /etc/runlevels/default/ .
IIRC Hal is needed to the KDE desktop, but not for most KDE apps;
I use Fluxbox + quite a few KDE apps; Exo Thunar belong to Xfce.
