Yes, built with default options (including HAL). My xorg.conf
is below.
The machine is too weak to run my desktop, I use it only to test
things:
CPU:
VIA Samuel 2 (532.64-MHz 686-class CPU)
graphics:
vendor = 'Trident Microsystems'
device = 'Via Tech VT8361/VT8601 Graphics Controller (VT8361)'
I don't mind the hangs with dbus+hal - I don't use them,
I enabled them just to test OP's problem.
Purely and simply, it is much less responsive with dbus+hal. It
often takes seconds to see what I typed in a terminal emulator.
Maybe the box is just underpowered for dbus+hal, I can live with
that :-)
