Of course (even if I don't use it for anything):

%ps ax | grep hal
  1031  ??  Ss     0:00,44 /usr/local/sbin/hald
  1035  ??  I      0:00,05 hald-runner
  1039  ??  S      0:00,08 hald-addon-storage: no polling on /dev/fd0 
because it is explicitly disabled (hald-addon-storage)
  1041  ??  S      0:00,11 hald-addon-storage: /dev/cd0 (hald-addon-storage)
  1418  p0  S+     0:00,00 grep hal
%ps ax | grep dbus
   917  ??  Is     0:00,01 /usr/local/bin/dbus-daemon --system
  1420  p0  RL+    0:00,00 grep dbus

On my system:

AllowEmptyInput   hald      Result
    off            enabled   Works
    off            disabled  Works
    on (default)   enabled   No mouse
    on (default)   disabled  No mouse

As said, KDM or simple X session doesn't care, /etc/ttys or command line 
doesn't care.

I still haven't received an answer on the following doubt: is it normal 
that lshal / hal-device doesn't show any mouse?
