Hi,
While merging x11-base/xorg-server-1.8.1 I encountered the following
warning:
Usage of hal is strongly discouraged. Please migrate to udev.
From next major release on the hal support will be fully disabled.
Both hal and udev flags are enabled.
Enabling only udev!
I guess that the message above speaks only about the HAL dependency of
the Xorg itself, i.e. it doesn't mean that general usage of HAL at the
system is discouraged/deprecated. Obviously, KDE depends pretty heavily
on HAL.
Is it correct?
Correct. This refers only to X itself. Everything else is still free
to use HAL. To avoid the warning, simply disable the "hal" USE flag for
x11-base/xorg-server only.
