I guess you can't. But do you want to wait (possibly indefinitly) for hal to show up, leaving the user without a usable keyboard/mouse? Is your concern, that during bootup, hal takes to long to start and is not yet available when X starts? Wouldn't something like a 10sec timeout within Xorg help here? Assuming NoAutoAddDevices if hal isn't there > when we start up means getting duplicated events whenever it shows up. I thought, if NoAutoAddDevices is used, that Xorg ignores devices reported via hal? Or maybe I'm just misunderstanding what you mean with duplicated events. > (also, xorg.conf devices are currently set up before the hal stuff, so > it's not clear -to me anyway- how to make this work without changing the > dix/ddx interface) Can't comment on that.
