But people are STILL having problems, like me last night. These "misconfigurations", isn't that what HAL is meant to stop people from doing, by configuring things itself? I tried with no xorg.conf file at all, I tried all sorts of things, it was very very ugly. Did you actually read what I wrote, or did you make up your mind that I had misconfigured something? Let me repeat it - I was given no keyboard or mouse. > procstat(1) will give you a much better picture, I suggest you challenge > your assumptions and explore that path. > > However since you asked here is the diff. You have just proved that you didn't read what I wrote. Let me repeat it: "Show us the output of top from your box with the hal processes". You have just showed the headings, which doesn't mean a lot. I think you have closed your eyes to the problems that people experience with hal. That is a pity, because it won't improve anything. -- Adam Vande More MF. _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
