Package: hal Version: 0.5.14-1 Severity: important Hi
Upon upgrading to hal 0.5.14-1, logging into KDE4 through kdm starts failing. While the password seems to be accepted and a KDE session starts to load, it fails immediately, the screen turns black and kdm appears again. Restarting hal or trying to log in several times usually succeeds after a few attempts. Another oddity is a distorted (large black rectangle around the mouse pointer, totally black output on DVI-1, it seems as if the resolution change wouldn't be updated, as the wallpaper keeps roughly at 1280*1024 (initial resolution) with a black frame at the right side and bottom, small colorful artefacts at numerous places) screen after I manage to log in and after trying to set video parameters through xrandr (xserver-xorg-video-radeon 1:6.12.3-1, Radeon RV630): xrandr --output DVI-0 --mode 1600x1200 xrandr --output DVI-1 --mode 1280x1024 xrandr --output DVI-1 --right-of DVI-0 Reverting back to hal 0.5.13-6 (while keeping libhal1 and libhal-storage1 at 0.5.14-1) fixes both problems for me.
