It (xorg+hal/fdi config) has worked fine for me since day 1 (and
continues to work), using a fully ~amd64 system. So not a complete
flop. And xorg devs have been using it like that for something like 5
years. I think the migration from one style of config to another was
more the cause of many people's problems generally. I don't know
anything about devicekit but I would bet the config & operation would
be close to that of hal/fdi than the old xorg.conf style.
