HAL vs. xorg.conf

[Simon Thum]

Hi all,

my dev Xorg instance used to have a de keyboard layout, until I recently 
upgraded the systems HAL and its associated info (I`m using gentoo).
Now, hotplug seems to rule out xorg.conf, see below.

My question: Is that intentional? Is there a way to override without 
disabling hotplug?
