Problem disabling xorg hot-plugging with hal running

Since the update of Xorg, key repetition did not work in my computer when running X, even thought I already had it configured in xorg.conf (AutoRepeat" "500 30").

Then the wiki came to the rescue:

I don't want this crap, how do I turn it off?
To disable input hotplugging, add Option "AutoAddDevices" "False" to ServerFlags in /etc/X11/xorg.conf:
   Section "ServerFlags"
     Option "AutoAddDevices" "False"
   EndSection
This will skip devices detected by HAL and will use your keyboard/mouse configuration from xorg.conf

The strange thing is that if HAL is running before/when X starts/runs, key repetition doesn't work although the AutoAddDevice flag is set to False as the wiki states.

If I stop HAL before starting X, everything works perfectly.

¿Does anybody else have the same problem? ¿Is it a bug or something more has to be configured?

Salud!

Re: Problem disabling xorg hot-plugging with hal running

Do you run as root? Because, me when i disable hal and run X as ordiary user I get context error even when Option AutoAddDevices set to false.
