 Submitting this as a followup for future readers:
 
 The cure to this problem--a sticky or draggy mouse pointer--is to not 
 use AllowEmptyInput Off.  It was a temporary cure to a temporary 
 problem, and causes problems of its own now.
 
 The right way to disable autodetection of devices by HAL:
 
 Option "AutoAddDevices" "Off"
 
 Another option is to build xorg-server with the HAL option disabled.
