Is it going to be replaced by DeviceKit soon ? Will everything be finally merged into udev-extras ? How's Gentoo reflecting all of this ? |

Hi, right now we have Xorg-Server that doesn't need hal at all.
Gnome 2.28 can work without hal too.
KDE 4.4.3 can but you will lose the automounter feature.
About Devicekit, I have no idea. |

Update : Gnome 2.30 works out of the box with HAL.
With Gnome 2.28, you will lose the automounter feature. |

IIRC, devicekit is superseded by upower and udisks _________________ PRIME x570-pro, 3700x, 6.1 zen kernel

For automounting there's no other solution than hal afaik.

There's udisks. Gnome 2.30 already uses it, as does pcmanfm beta. Other apps haven't migrated yet, AFAIK. |

Indeed, but at least, we see that they are working on it. |

This interests me. I've unmasked xorg-server 1.8 but when I start xorg my mouse and keyboard doesn't work.
*Edit*
Disregard that last bit. Compiling xorg-server with udev flag on works. Slim makes me log me out after a few seconds but that's another thread.
*Edit*
Fixed last bit. |

What about the HAL fdi policy files, which allow you to configure your hardware without the need of xorg.conf?? |
