Speaking of which...
Has the switchover to devicekit officially started and I
missed it? And if so, is there some migration guide of some
sort I can peruse for assistance?
I just upgraded Xorg and Gnome yesterday and my previously
more-or-less-working with hal system went belly up. It no
longer recognizes my synaptics touchpad, and in fact refused
to start X until I re-merged the kdb/mouse drivers, and
gnome-power-manager is totally useless.
For the record, I'm all about moving to devicekit from hal
if that's where the dev(s) are moving, but I'd rather do so
while continuing to use my laptop :)
