28 Hi,
29 This trio (dbus-hal-ivman) works for me, not always tough.
30 IIRC one of them depends on 'dnotify' which is a kernel-patch, included
31 in gentoo-sources at least. As 'dnotify' changes frequently (for new
32 kernels) the stable dbus-hal-ivman doesn't work with 2.6.13, but the
33 testing (~x86) work OK. It's logical as 2.6.12-rX is still the stable
34 one (i'm with 2.6.13 now).
35 Warning: don't use this with vfat-fs (USB-pens) as it can damage them
36 - sync option used (workaround needed, then things work).
37 Search/read for more info, my experince here.
