Do I have to recompile the kernel and Xorg-6.90?
Hi all...
Since the future of HAL seems to involve the PolicyKit module, I'm
attempting to install it for HAL 0.5.8.1. Among other things, it
installs a new PAM configuration, which basically amounts to:
# /etc/pam.d/policy-kit
auth include system-auth
accountinclude

system-auth is just a grouping of policies. I can't remember if I
copied this directly from Fedora or Paldo.
I'll give that a go then.

No, sorry. I'm really excited about what's going on over there, but
I've been keeping HAL-0.5.7 until we can get the BLFS release put
together. Soon, though. There's a ton of good stuff in there.
I've seen the PolicyKit conf files a

Only for X, huh? That's unfortunate.
Easily patched, though - one short function checks if a tty is local,
and it's just a matter of adding an extra conditional case. Seems to
work, though my testing is limited to the command line tools

Is PAM necessary?

It is a DBUS issue. Since, DBUS is installed to /usr, you have to tell

Strange, how I saw no documentation about this before, but I guess it's
just something with newer DBUS

So, long story short is that this shouldn't be an issue for the

service script installs it to a location that dbus knows about.

The biggest problem with the VGA driver is just that - it's VGA-standard

Eh? You needed Qt bindings for D-Bus to build Gnome 2.17? That sounds
odd...
