XServer 1.5 ... keyboard keys reported 3 times

[Dragonlord]

Had to upgrade to 1.5 ( masked ) due to ATI drivers. Now there's a problem. XServer 1.5 seems to draw devices from HAL. This by itself would be an interesting thing but it fails in two ways for me ( so I had to block HAL from being used by X ).

1) Layout is always "us" instead of "ch". There seems to be a hal-setup-keymap but the creator of this tool fails since it just gives out a cryptic error and no info on how to use it ( is it so hard to output a one-line syntax if called with NO arguments? U.=.U ).

2) This one is a bigger problem. The USB keyboard of mine reports every keystroke 3 times instead of once if used through HAL ( it works perfectly find it used without ).

Any ideas on why HAL fails so hard at the keyboard front? Any way to configurate the keyboard/mouse at HAL level? ( I need a specific mapping of buttons to get the wheel to work properly ).

This xorg.conf works ( snippet ):

Once again, the sticky.
And once again, those ServerFlags were meant for different purpose,
using them the way you people do is bound to have side effects.

Also, as I mentioned in the sticky, the purpose of hal-setup-keymap is
actually quite different.

sure it's for arch, but it definitely will help.
