That's probably because you weren't asking how to disable polling. You could try "/etc/init.d/hald stop". This will tell you whether it's hal that's polling. Also, like I said in my previous post, look at dmesg and the log files under /var/log/. It may tell you which process is "polling". Is hdd a hard drive, dvd-rom drive, etc.? If it's a hard drive, do you have media in the dvd drive when this "polling" occurs? "lshal -m" while ejecting and inserting media is informative of hals actions. -- Ian Graeme Hilt ian.hilt (at) gmail.com GnuPG key: 0x4AFC1EE3 -- [email protected] mailing list
