Hello,
I am following Chapter 6. The X Window System [1] to install Xorg into my box.
I have installed the xorg package with "pkg install xorg" as the
handbook explains, but HAL service procedure is giving error:
'
service hald start
hald does not exist in /etc/rc.d or the local startup
directories (/usr/local/etc/rc.d)
'
I believe you should add a note for those users that install binary
xorg (using pkg) should also add 'HAL' using 'pkg'
I believe that HAL is no longer strictly needed for a functional X
desktop, these days, so a different edit to the handbook may be more
appropriate.
Yes. xorg-server does not use HAL by default any more. I'm tempted to
just remove the HAL/DBUS part of the quick start. Really, the whole
Xorg installation section needs a rewrite. I have an outline for that,
but not the motivation.
