I believe, though, that if you disable hal and dbus in rc.conf, then you are not using them at all (the corresponding daemons don't start up at boot time). For me too the window managers work fine *without* hal/dbus, but I was trying to get these working. best, giuseppe On Fri, Sep 25, 2009 at 2:32 PM, William Bulley wrote: > According to Giuseppe Pagnoni on Fri, 09/25/09 at 03= :32: >> >> I am trying to use hal/dbus on a i386 machine with FreeBSD 7.2 (ports >> updated to the latest tree snapshot as of yesterday), but despite >> spending a full day looking up the handbook, faq, and google, I cannot >> make it work properly. =A0More specifically, when I =A0use either xfce4 = or >> xmonad after having enabled dbus/hald in rc.conf: >> >> hald_enable=3D"YES" >> dbus_enable=3D"YES" >> >> both window managers become very unresponsive and hang as if hal was >> trying to access/mount something. =A0For example, the terminal may take >> *seconds* to display typed in characters and in xfce if you click on >> the desktop icons for home directory etc., they don't open up at all >> in the thunar file manager (they do though, if you right click on them >> and choose 'open'). > > I, too, have seen this same problem, but with OpenMotif (mwm) as my > window manager. =A0I have solved the problem by changing the lines: > > dbus_enable=3D"YES" > hald_enable=3D"YES" > > to > > dbus_enable=3D"NO" > hald_enable=3D"NO" > > in my /etc/rc.conf file. =A0This makes things in xorg-7.4_2 and open-moti= f-2.2.3_6 > and 7.2-STABLE FreeBSD 7.2-STABLE #0: Tue Sep 15 14:33:54 EDT 2009 work f= or me. > > Regards, > > web... > > -- > William Bulley =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 Email: web@umich.e= du > > 72 characters width template ----------------------------------------->| > --=20 Giuseppe Pagnoni Dip.
