HAL is not broken, it is deprecated. From http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/karmic/beta:
"Ubuntu 9.10 Beta's underlying technology for power management, laptop hotkeys, and handling of storage devices and cameras maps has moved from "hal" (which is in the process of being deprecated) to "DeviceKit- power", "DeviceKit-disks" and "udev". When testing Ubuntu 9.10 Beta, please be alert for regressions in those areas and report any bugs you find." Moreover, this "emulation" is not very satisfying compared to the multitouch magic I can do in Windows with the same hardware :(. -- two-finger scrolling does not work on Acer AO531h https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/422224 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
