Sure ... I have to add that I am using GNOME here which might lead to some thoughts about hotplugging stuff like usb-sticks etc. What else? # equery h hal * Searching for USE flag hal ... [IP-] [ ] app-emulation/wine-1.1.42:0 [IP-] [ ] gnome-base/gnome-applets-2.30.0:2 [IP-] [ ] gnome-base/gnome-vfs-2.24.3-r1:2 [IP-] [ ] gnome-base/gvfs-1.6.2:0 [IP-] [ ] media-sound/pulseaudio-0.9.21.2-r1:0 [IP-] [ ] media-sound/qmmp-0.4.1:0 [IP-] [ ] sys-fs/ntfs3g-2010.5.16:0 [IP-] [ ] x11-base/xorg-server-1.8.1.901:0 pulseaudio, works ok so far. qmmp, OK. xorg-server, yep, for quite a while. Can't really say much about the gnome-stuff and wine ... For now hald is OFF here and packages recompiled with "-hal". Stefan
