which suggests using moused instead of hald. moused runs,
but I think I have to get Xorg to use a config file to set
Option "AllowEmptyInput" "off"
Option "AutoAddDevices" "off"
so that it will work without hald.
That is incorrect. Don't set AllowEmptyInput, just turn off
AutoAddDevices.

Question 1: why does "Xorg -configure" create a config file
that doesn't work the same way as just running "Xorg" ?
The defaults assumed when run are different from those in the generated
config file. I don't know why.
Question 2: how do I get a usable config file?
Look for examples on the net. Realize that most of xorg.conf is
optional now, and you can leave out sections where the defaults are
correct.
Question 3: how do I get complete modeline info for what
it is currently running?
Please don't mess with modelines, it should not be needed any more.
Just set the resolutions desired in the Screen/Display section. If
modelines are really required, get them out of /var/log/Xorg.0.log. But
they almost certainly are not.
Question 5: how do I get hald to work?
It's not used if you turn off AutoAddDevices or build the xorg-server
port with the HAL option disabled._______________________________________________
