I know several people who are using g-v-m/hal/udev on a powerbook without any problems (myself included). Now a few months back there was a bug report against hal that apparently the kernel oopsed when starting X with hal running on an older ppc machine. But according to the reporter it was unreproducable sometime later, probably because of a kernel or X upgrade. > And does it also make an icon appear on the desktop ?
