Well, ref. the above "I stopped trying to use hald(8)" -- I did this by:

Section "ServerFlags"
        Option      "AutoAddDevices" "False"
EndSection

And then disabling the hald & dbus startup.

It had been working in stable/6, stable/7, and head before the
(apparently DRI-related) issues arose in stable/7 and (mnore recently)
head.
