Xorg -configure and AllowEmptyInput

[Super Biscuit]

The same problem occurs with systems that have Open Firmware; it seems that Xorg will enable then disable the devices.

(WW) AllowEmptyInput is on, devices using drivers 'kbd', 'mouse' or 'vmmouse' will be disabled.
(WW) Disabling Mouse0
(WW) Disabling Keyboard0

I was wondering if Xorg -configure should issue a warning about that after it writes the configuration file.

Yesterday, I ran it on my new video card and had to force a reboot. I suppose it happened because I don't have the evdev driver installed or HAL enabled in xorg-server 1.9.0.

In my old xorg.conf, I had the following in "ServerFlags":
Option "AllowEmptyInput" "false"

Anyway, just a suggestion. I don't know if it's something on my end, but maybe Xorg -configure could be improved somewhat, based on HAL and/or evdev presence.
