Hello, thank you for your answers. That's exactly what I read, every version of xorg-server does not have hal use flag. That's why I changed to udev. I'm not sure about using both use flags, but with my current version of xorg-server -hal +udev everything seems to be working fine, I will unmask next xorg-server versions, and rebuild xorg modules, I'm almost sure I did that, but I'm going to try again, and let's see.. Anyway, I'm thinking to keep "-hal" and "+udev" Regards, -- Carlos Sura.-
