Try manually configuring mouse and keyboard in xorg.conf again, but only 
with AutoAddDevices Off, no AllowEmptyInput line.  The xorg.conf man 
page says "If AllowEmptyInput is on, devices using the kbd, mouse, or 
vmmouse driver are ignored."

As to why the hal config doesn't work, I don't know.  Clearly it's 
running, talking to the X server, but also double-entering devices.  Are 
you using a wireless keyboard/mouse?

Those only deal with the video card.  It sounds like what you have 
works, so I'd skip that for now.
