That's just _one_ of it's many features. If you're doing for a Server, then forget about it. For Desktop/Laptops it's useful. Going forward, nearly _all_ apps will rely on dbus/hald for H/w status. Eg: Gnome-Power-Manager detects from HAL whether there is "X" capability or if "Y" has happened etc. > -- [email protected] mailing list
