After moving from 9.0-RELEASE to 9-STABLE yesterday, the touchpad mouse on
my netbook stopped working. When I do
# /etc/rc.d/moused onestart
the pointer appears and can be moved for a second or two, then it stops
responding. Any thoughts?

Did you mean the mouse doesn't move in xorg, or on the console? If in
xorg, have you seen this thread on x11@?

The proposed solution is to set AutoAddDevices off, so that hald is
not used to enumerate mice/keyboards, and instead rely on explicitly
configuring them in your xorg.conf.
This doesn't work for me, I need working hald as I plug and unplug
keyboards and mice each time I take my laptop out of its dock,
There might be some hardware thing in your setup that requires hald, but
I do manage to hot-connect external USB mice without HAL installed. One
notebook needed moused_enable, but that's all. Can't recall whether
that one even has InputDevice sections in xorg.conf. I'll post the
config in a bit._______________________________________________
