No, there is nothing in the log file after the initial startup.
Log file ends:
(**) Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2"
(**) Configured Mouse: Device: "/dev/psaux"
(**) Configured Mouse: Protocol: "ImPS/2"
(**) Option "CorePointer"
(**) Configured Mouse: Core Pointer
(**) Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
(==) Configured Mouse: Emulate3Buttons, Emulate3Timeout: 50
(**) Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
(**) Configured Mouse: ZAxisMapping: buttons 4 and 5
(**) Configured Mouse: Buttons: 9
(**) Configured Mouse: Sensitivity: 1
(II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "Configured Mouse" (type: MOUSE)
(II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "Generic Keyboard" (type:
KEYBOARD)
(II) Configured Mouse: ps2EnableDataReporting: succeeded

Also, as I said, if I comment out  /etc/udev/rules.d/95-hal.rules
# Have udev pass data over a socket to hal
# RUN+="socket:/org/freedesktop/hal/udev_event"
(and I can see in /var/log/daemon.log that org/freedesktop/hal/udev_event
is not triggered); it makes no difference.
syslog confirms there is no hal event after initial startup.

lsof (filtered for Xorg and (dev|socket|proc|) says:
Xorg      5205       root  mem       CHR                1,1

Still stumped.....
