Not sure if that answers your question but I re-configure xorg-server (version 1.6.3 on a Slackware64-13.0 distribution) with the --disable-config-hal option. I not not launch the HAL daemon at startup and everything seems fine. I still use dBus though because CUPS needs it. As a side not a config file can be set up in order not to rely on HAL even without -disable-config-hal set but this doen't work on 1.6.3 if dBus is running and I prefer to use stock Slackware packages whenever I can. _______________________________________________ xorg mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg
