Thanks a lot. This did the job. However, the combination strg-alt-backspace do 
not work. This seems to be intention. I can  shut down the screen e.g. with 
strg-alt-f1. I think, I can live with this.
Mouse is working too.
I do not know, if it is worth ( and easy ) to install "xf86-input-evdev driver" 
?

The book gives the advice,  not to use hal anymore ! I hope not to to enter in 
more problems due to this ! xorg.conf.new was tested without hal beeing 
installed.

1.8.2 is the actual release included in the book. (development )
 
Again, thank you very much, extended to Stuart and to Linux Fan for their 
comments !
