8 I bravely jumped off the cliff, removed 'hal' from 'make.conf'
9 & recompiled Exo Thunar Xorg-server, the only pkgs which used it.
10 Thunar opens ok, but I needed to emerge the testing version of Xorg-server,
11 which has 6 deps + 4 drivers to update too.
12 Everything works even with the refs to mouse + keyboard in 'xorg.conf';
13 after removing all refs there (incl the 2 AD INIT), it still works ok.

15 Now for 'libpng' ...
