That's probably because you weren't asking how to disable |
| 11 |
polling. |

You could try "/etc/init.d/hald stop". This will tell you |
| 14 |
whether it's hal that's polling. Also, like I said in my |
| 15 |
previous post, look at dmesg and the log files under /var/log/. |
| 16 |
It may tell you which process is "polling". |

Is hdd a hard drive, dvd-rom drive, etc.? If it's a hard drive, |
| 19 |
do you have media in the dvd drive when this "polling" occurs? |
| 20 |
"lshal -m" while ejecting and inserting media is informative |
| 21 |
of hals actions. |
