I've found some people with a similar issue and their solution may work for you. What they did was run the HAL daemon as root: hald --verbose=yes --daemon=no. They received an error that a file could not be created in /var/cache/hald/. The problem was resolved by creating this directory and re-running the daemon. You may not get this error but the error you do receive should point you in the right direction.

  • Thank for your reply. I have spent half day yesterday trying this but end up 6 hours without solution. Logged in with run level 3, perform hald etc..got the error, and have created directory manuallly as a root but i get another error – user3395021 Jul 21 '15 at 15:19
  • For now I think I just fix it. i was getting an error that haldaemon was not able to access a file /var/cache/hald , I changed the ownership of the file and I can use and successfully use my mouse and keyboard !!! What a stress !! – user3395021 Jul 21 '15 at 15:38
  • Oh yeah, chown would fix that for you. Glad you got it working! – spencer Jul 21 '15 at 15:39
