Xorg requires hal daemon
I've installed the newest xorg and it didn't run. I've googled and found that the newest xorg needs hal daemon. http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xorg_input_hotplugging#Requirements "Besides installing a supported driver, both dbus and hal have to be running." Please correct in the spec-files! (I don't want modify them, because I don't know about their "rules" and I don't know which parts need hal).

No, it does not require hal daemon. It's just default _configuration_. -- Tomasz Pala ___ pld-devel-en mailing list pld-devel-en@lists.pld-linux.org http://lists.pld-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/pld-devel-en

It is a bit confusing that xorg does not work out of the box. There is no error message nor info about hal daemon. Not every user or even developer knows that. -- .Pozdrawiam, . .

Please, use banners only as the-real-last-resort... These are really annoing. Suggests would be fine in that case, IMO. -- pozdr.

Not every user or even developer knows that. Wait for 1.6 before doing anything. It's going to be released soon and it has some changes in that area AFAIK. -- Arkadiusz MiśkiewiczPLD/Linux Team arekm / maven.plhttp://ftp.pld-linux.org/ ___ pld-devel-en mailing list pld-devel-en@lists.pld-linux.org http://lists.pld-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/pld-devel-en

Even ctrl-alt- backspace does not work. The only way to recover is to ssh from other machine, and killall X. Or "SysRq S U B". BTW to install haldaemon is not enough. One have to start haldeamon. -- .Pozdrawiam, . .
