Hi there. I recently took a few months off from Gentoo to try Ubuntu (I heard it "just works", and that is a Good Thing) only to find that I'd much rather be back on Gentoo again. (The fact that Ubuntu ships with PulseAudio means that sound it basically broken out of the box, and I'm excited for Xfce 4.8.)
It's been a few months since I've been around, and I'd like to know if HAL has been fully deprecated yet. I'd like to avoid using it if at all possible, since that seems to be the way of the future. So I'm wondering what versions of udev and X server (and any other packages, dbus maybe?) I need to unmask in order to get rid of the HAL dependency. Thanks a lot! - BW
