I've just recently made the switch to Xorg and I'm still a bit fuzzy about how things interrelate , so it hadn't occurred to me to restart dbus when I reconfigured hal. > im not using DBUS or HAL because I like my X working. :-) Aside from the ctrl-alt-bksp bug, this has been the easiest X setup I've ever done. I've tried it with and without hal and both are easy to set up. Given my level of ignorance, that's saying something. I've seen a lot of complaints about Xorg's new system, but I like it. Thanks for your response. It's great that there are so many helpful people on this list.
