Subject: udev / hotplug / hald / dbus
Date: Thu, 09 Dec 2004 17:15:38 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20041209171538.GB17970@fmp.com> (raw)
I'd like to know how the udev / hotplug mechanism works with the hald / dbus
hardware abstraction/detection/notification system which is apparently
becoming the defacto standard in Gnome. It looks as if there may be some
duplication of effort here, at some level. I had to disable my auto device
mounts in /etc/dev.d after I recently updated gnome and had to install hald
and the dbus-daemon to get features in Gnome to work, such as auto-detection
of CD-RW disks. It looks as if auto-detection and mounting of USB storage
devices is also supported and enabled by hald / dbus, at least in Gnome.
I'm certainly no expert in these matters, and the answer may be obvioius to
anyone with more experience at a hardware level, but it looks as if there
may be some functional overlap and possibly potential for conflict with
these two systems.
