I have had success on my hardware with this setting:

Please don't do that: http://www.wonkity.com/~wblock/docs/html/aei.html

This is the right way to disable HAL input device detection.
Is this really without function now? I could not get X running on the machine I
used without using it.
AEI is not without function, it's just usually not the function desired.
AutoAddDevices Off is all that's needed to prevent xorg-server from
using HAL for input device detection. So far, I have not found a
situation where AEI Off is still required, and more than a few where it
causes problems.
Better yet is to rebuild xorg-server with the HAL option disabled. For
example, xfce does not require or benefit from HAL. Other software may
still need it.
My standard practise is to use an empty xorg.conf when installing a fresh X. I
add then these lines when X does not work.
Fair enough. Just leave out the AEI line.
