That looks helpful, but how do I actually make the changes? I assume that I should edit /etc/hal/fdi/policy/preferences.fdi, and I used the code provided in your link as an example. Do I have to restart X to get the config re-read? Your link suggest I can stop hal with /etc/init.d/hald stop, but that file doesn't exist on my system. What I'm finding on Google seems to suggest that most people interact with Hal through some sort of desktop-environment-specific device manager, but I don't see one for Fluxbox. The actual hal docs are a bit imposing for me - I don't want to program it, I just want to tweak the configuration!
