4 From my notes, having done it on 2 desktops machines + 1 netbook :
5
6 To remove Hal : drop '-hal' flag, add 'udev' flag ;
7 update to Xorg-server >= 1.8.0 -drivers >= 1.8
8 Xinit >= 1.2.1 + drivers ;
9 re-merge Exo Thunar ;
10 delete refs to 'mouse' 'keyboard' in xorg.conf ;
11 remove 'hald' fr /etc/runlevels/default/ .
12
13 IIRC Hal is needed to the KDE desktop, but not for most KDE apps;
14 I use Fluxbox + quite a few KDE apps; Exo Thunar belong to Xfce.
