If you disabled AutoAddDevices (just make sure that it claims that it's
disabled in the Xorg.log) and the device doesn't come back it's a kernel
problem.

HAL simply provides the server with a list of devices. The server then adds
these devices as input devices. But in your case, you don't have to worry
about this as it seems to be kernel-related.
