If you use a recent version of xorg-server (>= 1.8) you can enable the
"udev" use flag, and disable the flag "hal".
Hal usage with xorg is clearly deprecated now, and its complete
removal from xorg-server is scheduled soon, as it will be eventually
replaced by the new abstraction layer from freedesktop.org "DeviceKit"
Before it occurs, Xorg-server works well using udev instead of hal to
deal with hardware recognition.
I've got a similar config (azerty keyboard, no xorg.conf) and just
created the file '/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/11-keymap.conf' where I put the
following lines:
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "Keyboard"
Driver "evdev"
Option "xkbLayout" "fr"
MatchIsKeyboard "on"
EndSection
