I think the root of the issue here is that X isn't able to establish a connection to hald at startup and does not retry. This is being discussed on the Xorg lists some... No clear solution yet. For the time being hald needs to start before Xorg. Restarting hald after X is up however doesn't seem to be an issue. robert. > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" --=-I4q0Isb7cMm6PwAhuGz+ Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.10 (FreeBSD) iEYEABECAAYFAkl/YLIACgkQM4TrQ4qfROPmDACdFuKL4daSC2wc48pIArErnUpY Th0An3vmdgtnI6ONzP6tsP186634coxW =dIlx -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-I4q0Isb7cMm6PwAhuGz+--
