Re: X11 without HAL: "DontZap" in /etc/X11/xorg.conf doesn't work anymore

Geeez... the problem is that it was promoted to a requirement for

Another problem are the people who think they need to turn Linux into
something like a Windows to appeal to people who don't even care/know
enough about which OS they use. By this HAL is neglecting the best part
of Linux for the sake of "Linux, ready for the desktop?" headlines on
Slashdot.
What is the 'best part of Linux' that HAL neglects?
You keep coming back to this thing of being like Windows. That, in and
of itself, is not a bad thing (there are at least a few things that
Windows got right). It is a bad thing if other things are negatively
affected by being like Windows.
You've not yet explained what these negative effects are. Could you
please do so without reference to Windows or Ubuntu?
