I use KDE here but with KDE 4.6, hal is gone. I use xorg 1.9 and no hal |
| 23 |
there. If nothing in xfce doesn't need it, then I think it is gone. |

All this is on amd64. I'm in the process of updating my x86 rig so I |
| 25 |
could answer for it in a day or so. Give me a poke if you need a |
| 26 |
report. ;-) |

Keep in mind, there are still a few packages that you CAN enable hal |
| 29 |
on. They are disabled here and still work fine as far as I know. I |
| 30 |
haven't burned a CD/DVD yet but k3b does see the drive and all. I would |
| 31 |
think it would work. That reminds me, I need to update some backups. o_O |
