Um. It looks like you're using the new mouse bit but not the keycodes. :)

The mouseconfig in Halloween should set everything up properly. Also,
mouseconfig/kbdconfig only modify /etc/X11/XF86Config, _not_ XF86Config-4.

Fixed.

Hmm. I know why this happened. Did X actually work with BusMouse and
/dev/mouse (pointing at adbmouse). Basically, Xautoconfig said you aren't
using the new input layer (which at least imho) is the new keycodes, not the
mouse bit.

Harmless. :)

...This is turning _off_ the new keycodes. You should be keeping this at 1
and then re-running kbdconfig/mouseconfig from Halloween. You should then
have a working keymap/etc again (and Xautoconfig{3,4} should find and setup
your keyboard properly).
