I've been off the list a good while and wondered if there is some kind |
| 2 |
of guide to scrap hal. |

I understand it is being done away with upstream and will probably |
| 5 |
require some changes on users part. |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
I'm also guessing there is some kind of replacement that I need to |
| 8 |
learn about if it effects my longtime reliance on xorg.conf to keep |
| 9 |
using my huge desktops I like to use. For yrs I've |
| 10 |
used. |

To get a 2048x1536 desktop to flop around on. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
I've never seen or heard of a way to get that without using xorg.conf. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
Other things, I noticed was the onetime I did try to dump hal I ended |
| 26 |
up with no mouse or keyboard and fiddled with that a couple days, |
| 27 |
finally going back to hal. |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
That has been probably a yr or more ago now. |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
Back to the point: Can anyone provide some URLS that will help me |
| 32 |
form a battle plan or even better a brief outline of (generally) how |
| 33 |
to proceed with more or less painlessly dumping hal? |
