Thanks for the responses guys. I've always had it at default also. I was just wondering. Now, does hald need dbus? Require dbus? Interesting. I have dbus installed but it's not running because it caused the Jack sound server problems. Not even sure what it does or why I should need it but it caused more problems for me and I couldn't tell what it helped with. When should dbus be started if I run it? As a boot level process or default also? Thanks, Mark
