We recently dropped HAL. Now all the magic that was done by HAL (and |
| 16 |
required udev anyway) is done through udev directly. Dropping udev = |
| 17 |
dropping it all. This means that no *kit would work anymore, xorg will |
| 18 |
require explicit configuration, bluez may not work anymore as well. |
