HAL and hotplugging

[Dustin Spicuzza]

Well I have xorg and such built... but for the life of me I can't seem 
to get the HAL code actually doing anything. In my distro version of 
xorg... it at least tries to load the driver using the HAL stuff, 
despite errors. My git version of xorg is just totally not doing 
anything with HAL. Is there something special that needs to be done for 
hal and such to be enabled when you install xorg in an alternate path? 
Thanks

Dustin
