Add Option "AutoAddDevices" "Off" to the ServerLayout or ServerFlags section. That prevents xorg from adding hal-detected devices, even if hal is running. The other option is to build xorg-server without hal support: # cd /usr/ports/x11-servers/xorg-server; make config Turn off the HAL option and rebuild/reinstall the port. If you do that, a reminder comment about it in xorg.conf could be a good idea. Or just include the AutoAddDevices option anyway; I doubt xorg-server without hal support would complain about it, but can't recall testing that.
