69 If you did, you may want to disable hal and try it without it. Just put
70 it in package.use or something, recompile xorg and see if it works. If
71 it does, it's hal. If it doesn't, then you got a problem with something
72 else. The reason I would try this is to see what is the problem. If it
73 is hal, people can try to help you get it going if you want to. If it
74 is not hal, then people will now that it is not the problem and can help
75 you try something else.

81 P. S. You should only need to disable hal on xorg. You can leave it
82 elsewhere. That is why I mentioned doing it in package.use instead of
83 make.conf. You could do it on the command line to, just for testing.
