You can have at this:
http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-722498-highlight-hal+keyboard.html

Here's what I did.
I kept xorg.conf, but removed InputDevices.
Created the file /etc/hal/fdi/policy/10-x11-input.fdi 

You can try the following. Modify it after your needs and remember to
restart /etc/init.d/hald.

-------------------------- Start: /etc/hal/fdi/policy/10-x11-input.fdi
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> <!-- -*- SGML -*- -->

    <match key="info.capabilities" contains="input.mouse">
      <merge key="input.x11_driver" type="string">evdev</merge>
    </match>
    <!-- }}}-->

    <!-- Keyboard {{{-->
    <match key="info.capabilities" contains="input.keymap">
      <append key="info.callouts.add" type="strlist">hal-setup-keymap</append>
