You need to compile X without the HAL dependency (see "man configure" for that port). If you also want to get rid of DBUS, you can apply the same concept, but maybe have to recompile programs running on X that might want or need HAL and DBUS. After that, you can let X create a xorg.conf file and modify it if you insist. You can then remove the hald_enable and dbus_enable settings from your rc.conf. I'm running such a kind of installation for many years now successfully. No need for HAL and DBUS. :-) -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
