Just a word of warning HAL is on it's way out.  Already gone for those
of us on the Gentoo ~x86 front edge.  When you next upgrade your X server
you'll probably have to revert/move forward with the new modular X config.
Easy enough.  Add the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-keyboard.conf with
content like:
Section "InputClass"
    Identifier    "keyboard-all"
    MatchIsKeyboard    "on"
    Driver        "evdev"
    Option        "XkbLayout"    "gb"
    Option        "XkbOptions"    "terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp"
EndSection
