I've been off the list a good while and wondered if there is some kind
of guide to scrap hal.
I understand it is being done away with upstream and will probably
require some changes on users part.
I'm also guessing there is some kind of replacement that I need to
learn about if it effects my longtime reliance on xorg.conf to keep
using my huge desktops I like to use. For yrs I've
used.

in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
To get a 2048x1536 desktop to flop around on.
I've never seen or heard of a way to get that without using xorg.conf.
Other things, I noticed was the onetime I did try to dump hal I ended
up with no mouse or keyboard and fiddled with that a couple days,
finally going back to hal.
That has been probably a yr or more ago now.
Back to the point: Can anyone provide some URLS that will help me
form a battle plan or even better a brief outline of (generally) how
to proceed with more or less painlessly dumping hal?
