I'm sure it works very well on up-to-date hardware, but on older hardware, where all the autodetect magic won't work properly, problems may occur. Furthermore, if you need to have a "non-standard" keyboard layout, e. g. the german one, this has to be set in a different place now. As far as I know, HAL and DBUS, along with FreeBSD 8, work very well for different automounting scenarios (CD, DVD, USB). Soon I will encounter the joy of the new X modularity and dependencies. :-) It's still worth mentioning that it's possible to run X in the "old fashioned" way, but DBUS and HAL have to be excluded at compile time. -- Polytropon >From Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
