DBUS causing loss of input, even in tty

Hey, I did a full system upgrade last night and installed the ATI driver according to the wiki here: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ATI
Now whenever I boot up, hal starts which first calls dbus, which was normally good. However, dbus is now causing me to lose input control, even in tty (I dont have a login manager, I still log in through tty and lose input before I can get my username and password entered). I know its dbus because I removed hal from startup, logged in fine, ran xfce4 fine, but didn't have wireless access since wicd requires dbus. And when I tried to start dbus, I suddenly lost input again. I'm using the  xf86-video-ati radeon driver with xorg-input-drivers and udev (as far as I know - still a bit of a newbie)
I'm running a gateway lt3100 netbook with 2gb ram, an ATI X1270 igp, and an AMD 1.2Ghz something.

Re: DBUS causing loss of input, even in tty

I have problems when entering username and password in tty too.
After first "Login incorrect" ('cose I cannot enter password properly 'cose it's not echoed) input works fine. Every time.
WTF ?

Re: DBUS causing loss of input, even in tty

Same problem here, but I use nvidia. When I remove

# D-bus
if which dbus-launch >/dev/null 2>&1 && test -z "$DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS";     then
       eval `dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session`
fi

from my autostart.sh in Openbox, tty input works fine. Only downside is, I lose D-bus. Any ideas?
