Hi list! I'm a bit confused about the meaning of the hal useflag on the x11-base/xorg-server ebuilds nowadays. When I deactivate it, hot-plugin a mouse does not work and special keys on the keyboard are not detected. When I enable it, everything works but several driver packages (evdev and mouse, probably others) want me to deactivate it.
Does this have anything to do with me still using /etc/X11/xorg.conf and not auto configuration? Or maybe the update to Gnome-2.28? Or the general deprecation of hal? In short: Did I miss any update advice or do I have to fiddle around with the settings and useflags until something usable is found, like usual? Thanks in advance! Florian Philipp
