| but many other x parts depend on hal:
| 
| # pkg_info -xR hal
| Information for hal-0.5.11_17:
| 
| Required by:
| xf86-input-keyboard-1.3.2
| xf86-video-intel-2.5.1
| xf86-video-vesa-2.1.0
| xf86-input-mouse-1.4.0_3
| 
| and these aren't optional, I think.

But if xdm or other display managers are started from /etc/tty, X starts
before hal does leaving you with an unresponsive login screen.
