I wouldn't advise putting -hal in make.conf - that's globally and too many other things on the desktop still need it. Either a) disable it in /etc/make.conf and enable it in packages.use for stuff that needs it b) enable it in make.conf and disable it in packages.use for xorg-server I prefer b) as it's too easy to miss things using a). -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com
