The comment wrap there is very confusing. But please stop using AllowEmptyInput. It was so misused that it has even been removed from later versions of xorg. http://www.wonkity.com/~wblock/docs/html/aei.html There is an interaction with hald and moused that makes it worthwhile lately for some users to run moused from rc.conf. There may be a similar interaction with kbdmux(4) or some other keyboard component for keyboards. hald can be improved greatly by its absence.
