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

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_!
