"Configuring Xorg" says: "Hal comes with many premade device rules, also called policies. These policy files are available in /usr/....../policy. Just find a few that suit your needs most closely and copy them to /etc/...." "For example, to get a basic working keyboard/mouse combination, you could copy the following files... /usr/.........../10-input-policy.fdi /usr/.........../10-x11-input.fdi" . Am I the only person that finds this semantic gibberish? Is there any explanation somewhere of what a "policy" aka "device rule" is? What is the semantic significance of a "device rule"? What does it mean, to "rule a device", or what sort of restrictions are being placed on this device?My solution to simplify Gentoo... waltd...@d531 ~ $ cat /etc/portage/package.mask sys-libs/pam sys-apps/dbus sys-apps/hal You'll have to do a manual depclean (very carefully) and revdep-rebuild, but it's worth the effort to purify your Gentoo system.
Simpler than that, just add -hal to xorg stuff in package.use and then run emerge -uvDNa world. It will rebuild a couple things, maybe even just xorg, then everything is back to the old way. This allows hal to be their for other things where it does work but it disables it where it doesn't work.
I'm not saying your way won't work but I think mine is easier. Dale :-) :-)
