never mind my bitching.  rebuilding xorg-server without hal was a matter of
abs,edit,makepkg

<3 arch

Are you using -Syu or are you trying to just randomly -S things?
Normally a full upgrade should not have conflicts to this degree.


-Syu

Unless his system is fairly old and he hasn't updated in a while.
xorg-server depending on hal happened a fairly long time ago, didn't
it?

nope. The hal crap has been added to X a while ago as "optional" (meaning X would just freeze without it, but at least pretend to start) , but the forced dependency is new (as in, it doesnt start when compiled with hal, but no hal present). The difference is that previously you could get get away with a hack in xorg.conf without having to rebuild xorg without --enable-config-hal

I guess the new way is better, since it seperates the ubuntu aproach from power user systems in a clean way. If my source is reliable (some dude on irc), X.org will continue to support both versions and seperate them clearly, maybe even with modules. That'd be _nice_!
