From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Lindsay Haisley Date: Thu, 09 Dec 2004 17:15:38 +0000 Subject: udev / hotplug / hald / dbus Message-Id: <20041209171538.GB17970@fmp.com> List-Id: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: linux-hotplug@vger.kernel.org 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. -- Lindsay Haisley | "Fighting against human | PGP public key FMP Computer Services | creativity is like | available at 512-259-1190 | trying to eradicate | http://www.fmp.com | dandelions" | | (Pamela Jones) | ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
