Probably no much, apart from having not to put -hal in package.use. Maybe |
15 |
the detection of your monitor is improved. I heard that switching |
16 |
resolutions with Ctrl-Alt-+/- is also faster now (seems to be true here), |
17 |
but that might also be related to the new X.org, not HAL. |
18 |
And it's easier to try HAL again on the fly, without having to re-build |
19 |
xorg with changed USE flag. If you decide to drop it completely from |
20 |
X.org, and never try again, just remove it with -hal use flag. Some day |
21 |
HAL will be replaced by devicekit anyway, but that may take a while to |
22 |
happen. |
