Have you tried the attic? http://sources.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/gentoo-x86/sys-apps/hal/?hideattic=0 |

should have all the old main-tree ebuilds and patches for hal. Dunno what the |
| 12 |
result of installing it will be, though--I've never used an automounter with my |
| 13 |
system, so I was quite happy to kick hal to the curb even though I'm still |
| 14 |
using KDE 3.5. |

Alternatively, someone posted a patch to the Trinity dev ML about a month ago |
| 17 |
that was supposed to enable media detection without hal. It supposedly applies |
| 18 |
to vanilla KDE 3.5.10 just fine, but I have not used it and so can't confirm |
| 19 |
whether or not it works. |
