hald freebsd8.0

2010-08-16 Thread n dhert
The handbook of FreeBSD says about Xorg: you *can* [but need not, I
understand] use HAL to autodetect keyboards and mice.

I have hald (and dbus) ports installed and running (both enabled=YES in
/etc/rc.conf)
But I suspect hald causing panic reboots.

Can one do without hald?
Oucommenting hald_enable=YES in /etc/rc.conf and reboot will not be
sufficient I guess,
what else should be done, since it will affect X, in order not to loose
keyboard and mouse in
graphical envorinoment?

Here is my config's and is working for me.

 egrep (hal|dbus) /etc/rc.conf
# dbus_enable=YES
# hald_enable=YES


cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Section ServerLayout
Identifier X.org Configured
Screen  0  Screen0 0 0
InputDeviceMouse0 CorePointer
InputDeviceKeyboard0 CoreKeyboard
Option  AutoAddDevices  false

Hope this helps.
