Or maybe I'm just misunderstanding what you mean with duplicated events. > Hrm yes you're right. But since at the point where xorg.conf is processed, we don't know whether hal will report anything, this is not an easy plan. We could start up with the default xorg.conf devices, then if any hal device shows up, disable the default ones. But that sounds very fragile, and gets us back into the evdev vs kbd keycodes mix, which we had so much fun with when input hotplug got first enabled (clients not refreshing keymaps correctly, or not refreshing their grabs. I'd rather not go back there. Going back to look at the xorg.conf devices if nothing shows up on the hal connection after a timeout also sounds like it'd bring its amount of pain too. I'm more interested in trying to figure out why people's session die on dbus restart, which so far look like client bugs leading to X restarts in the middle of an upgrade, and which probably need to be fixed regardless.
