I believe the most common problem is the situation you are describing: hald not ready by the time the X Server is loading, usually due to some timing issue, and by like less then one second. Maybe you could use 150ms in config/hal.c:connect_hook(), and use like 2-4 seconds if it the first "timer" failed. Or maybe Daniel or Peter will implement what they commented some days ago, that is listen for a dbus message that tells when hald is ready and accepting connections? (I don't know about dbus internals, and did not know dbus had that feature...) > -- > Li, Yan Paulo _______________________________________________ xorg mailing list xorg@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg
