I think I have got it this time, :-). Here are the questions: I would like to use input hotplugging. So, I need to configure it. Are these the correct commands to run, in this order: # pacman -S xf86-input-evdev # usr/sbin/groupadd -g 81 dbus # usr/sbin/useradd -c 'System message bus' -u 81 -g dbus -d '/' -s /bin/false dbus # /etc/rc.d/hal start Or just: # pacman -S xf86-input-evdev # /etc/rc.d/hal start
As for me, I didn't have to add dbus to either groups or users. Probably added when hal was installed or something. I do have the entries in /etc/group and /etc/passwd though.
After running the correct command sequence listed above (whichever one it is), it seems that I need to "Add the hal daemon to the DAEMONS array in /etc/rc.conf to start it at every boot." I do not know how to do this?
In /etc/rc.conf, the last line of that file, is the DAEMONS array. It's an array with all the daemons that will start automatically when your computer boots.
To add hal daemon to the array, just write its name on it: DAEMONS=(syslog-ng hal ...) Paulo Santos
