Excerpt from freedesktop.org mailing list: <quote> Also, "is going away" is a bit of an understatement, it's really quite dead. GNOME switched over a year ago, KDE and XFCE finished the transition a couple of months back (see [1]). The major distros don't even install it by default any more, or at least switched hal to D-BUS activation so that it doesn't run all the time and cost extra boot time/CPU/battery power, and just gets started for the odd old program. </quote> The entire post is available here: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/hal/2011-February/013837.html Is FreeBSD now "HAL" free or is it still a requirement? I still have it activated via "/etc/rc.conf" If it is not needed, I would be happy to remove the entry. -- Jerry ✌ FreeBSD.user@seibercom.net Disclaimer: off-list followups get on-list replies or get ignored.
