sorry about that(I got confused with util-linux-ng)
Anyways can't remember where I read it, but somewhere
I read that hal was being fazed out.(maybe I'm seeing things)
could of been in the source package of udev-142 under the NEWS,
or README section.

Not sure how the distros are going to handle that, but over here
it's no problem(made my own distro) xserver compiles and runs
fine without hal. for the keyboard and mouse
simply input-evdev,input-mouse,input-keyboard modules works fine.
(although I haven't setup the bluetooth mouse yet, which might depend on hal)
