Hi There,
one question about this Entry in UPDATING

|
| If you choose to enable the HAL backend for the media kioslave,
| you should enable dbus, hal and policy kit during system startup.
| To do this, add the following lines to /etc/rc.conf:
|
| dbus_enable="YES"
| polkitd_enable="YES"
| hald_enable="YES"
`----
What doas it mean "If you choose to enable the HAL backend..."?
I never choosed the hal backend. It is there, bacause other ports
depends on it (or any port-maintainer "choosed" the hal backend).
,----[ pkg_info -R hal\* ]
| Information for hal-0.5.8.20061117:
|
| Required by:
| gimp-2.2.13_2,1
| gnome-vfs-2.16.3
| kdemultimedia-3.5.4_1
| kdemultimedia-xine_artsplugin-3.5.4_1
| kmplayer-0.9.3,2
| libgtkhtml-2.11.0_2
| libxine-1.1.3

So - do I have to put the lines (mentioned in
UPDATING) in my /etc/rc.conf, or not?
I was just wondering the same while testing this with my usb camara
and it doesn't work although I have the above lines in rc.conf. My
guess is that it wants the msdos file type that I normally give in
fstab that I erased. There must be a way to configure that.
Actually, I fail to see a big advantage to hal over an entry in fstab,
devfs.con entry for permissions and vfs.usermount=1 other than I get
to run 3 more daemons. Please help me see the light, I know I'm
missing something because I've seen a lot of very positive feedback.
Thanks,
ed
