Public bug reported: It's necessary for me to use 'Option "AutoAddDevices" "off"' in my xorg.conf, in order to work around bug 305955. However, since upgrading to Karmic, the workaround no longer works; even though I have that line in my xorg.conf, HAL devices are still automatically added and removed, so the bug remains and my system is as a result barely usable. (hopefully my Xorg log is attached and you can see the lines at the end where this is happening)
What do I need to do to turn off the use of HAL for input devices in Karmic?
