Even tho I'm not much on hal, if it works, use it. If it is not |
| 28 |
working, then switch to udev, back to having a xorg.conf file or |
| 29 |
whatever else will work for you. |

Sometimes it just depends on your hardware. Some systems like one |
| 32 |
software package to manage things and another system will work better |
| 33 |
with something else. You just have to find one that works and stick |
| 34 |
with it. |
