Configuring stuff in hal or udev is just a stopgap until X grows a way to handle hotplugged devices in xorg.conf (which will happen with xserver 1.8), so I think we shouldn't recommend/document this as the way to go. Plus we have tools and protocol for runtime configuration anyway. (See http://who-t.blogspot.com/2010/01/new-configuration-world-order.html for a description of the way things are going) Cheers, Julien -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-x-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
