X-BeenThere: freebsd-gnome@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: GNOME for FreeBSD -- porting and maintaining List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Mon, 03 Aug 2009 12:42:26 -0000 Hi I use some gnome-apps. But I do not ever use hal. I do not see its use for me apart from making me problems. Playback of dvds stops working as soon as it is running, and I have different problems with X when it runs, some of which I could fix, but... I just don't see the use of that piece of software, or to put it an other way its flaws outshine its benefits for now, at least for me. So what I wanted to ask is, if it wouldn't be possible to add a global "WITHOUT_HAL" flag or something. And further if it were possible to no longer just assume one wants hal, but rather make it a choice. mfg tcb. -- Using Opera's revolutionary e-mail client: http://www.opera.com/mail/
