I've attached ps's before and after, without the grep just to ensure
that nothing is lost. I don't see any instances of hal-setup-keymap. I
do find it odd that ps is reporting hald as using 14% of the CPU in the
first case.

gpm.ps.first.txt is the time that X doesn't work. gpm.ps.second.txt is
the time that X does.

The fact that every device had some keymap information was my fault. I
had a file in /usr/share/hal/fdi/... (attached) where I am trying to fix
the hotkeys on my laptop (bug 257377). The FDI file is wrong, and was
putting that information on every device. I rebooted without it and I'm
still getting the same issue with no mouse/keyboard on first GDM prompt.
