Hi, I am trying to get hal up and running, for which I have done the following. - i have 2.6 - test11 (sysfs is mounted) - built dbus from cvs sources - got the latest hotplug scripts from sourceforge - built udev 012 with dbus support (using glibc, klibc didnt work - linking seems to fail). /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug has /sbin/udev - built hal. I have used the default prefixes (i.e, /usr/local) I have dbus daemon, and hald running - hal device manager shows the devices. Now, as I plug in and out a USB mouse (a duplicate of what I normally use), I can see the sysfs being updated, but I do not find any entries being created in /udev. Also hal device manager does not reflect these changes. I would like to know where I might be going wrong. I would be glad to provide more details which I might have forgotten. It seems udev is being invoked as I found by replacing /sbin/udev with a shell script. My understanding is udev when invoked sends a dbus notification via the dbus daemon which is used by hald. (Correct me if this is not the case). ===== Regards, Kiran Kumar Immidi __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
