51 <ul>
52 <li>
53 Xorg can detect input devices using udev, removing its HAL support.
54 Users which used HAL before need to migrate to udev.
55 </li>
56 <li>
57 Xorg's configuration is now much more flexible thanks to generic match
58 options and multiple-file merging capabilities.

70 <p>
71 The configuration of <c>xorg-server-1.9</c> is still valid for <c>1.10</c>, and
72 does not require modification to work with the new version.

82 <p>
83 The primary difference is that the deprecated HAL support has now been removed
84 in favor of udev. If you already used udev before, then no action is necessary.
85 If you used HAL with <c>xorg-server-1.8</c> then read on.

94 <body>
95 <p>
96 Enabling udev just requires building <c>xorg-server</c> with <c>USE="udev"</c>.
97 Systems which worked fine with the default HAL fdi will not need special
98 configuration. If you created custom fdi files, then refer to the <uri
