But some or most of those don't directly depend on hal, they depend on something else that depends on hal. It would be nice to easily find the root few. xorg-server can be set to not use hal. Then rebuild the keyboard, mouse, and video drivers. One problem with getting rid of hal entirely is libgnomeui, which depends on gvfs, which depends on gnome-mount, which depends on hal.
