Short answer : I am a proud member of the "HAL and DBus are evil" group. Middle answer : HAL and DBus were made, maintained and tuned with pretty much nothing but Linux in mind. As a result they hardly play well with other OS, and will tend to play worse as the time goes by. In fact general opinion is that HAL never truly worked under Linux either, it is now officially deprecated. > >> I assume you did not create any custom hald rule.

For one reason or another, xorg is not catching/processing the info. Can you send the Xorg log ? Just wait until X is up and then plug the mouse. I am curious to see what happens inside xorg.
