[SOLVED] Xorg and mouse with HAL doesn't work

Hi

I recently reinstalled Arch Linux and I have some problems... My mouse isn't working - at all! I'm using an HP Compaq 6510b.

I've installed the following packages:
* xf86-input-evdev
* hal
* dbus

I don't have an xorg.conf file at all, as I heard that hal should solve everything automagically for me. This seems to not be the case?

Any ideas? Thanks

don't forget to start hal before xorg

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

Yeah, I'm doing that!

BTW, Xorg.0.log is here: http://dpaste.com/51933

It seems that I had forgotten to install xf86-input-synaptics, xf86-input-mouse and xf86-input-keyboard. I'm not sure which one of those packages solved it, but it works now. Now I'll just have to configure my touchpad to scroll properly, etc.
