Does FreeBSD have HAL?

[Dwayne MacKinnon]

Hi,

So, when I run your qdbus comand, I get this message:

Service 'org.freedesktop.HalManager' does not exist.

However, HAL has been compiled and is running on my system:

[dwayne at Chiron ~]$ ps axww | grep hal
1257  -  Ss      0:16.32 /usr/local/sbin/hald
1258  -  I       0:00.09 hald-runner
1286  -  IW      0:00.00 hald-addon-mouse-sysmouse: /dev/ums0 (hald-addon-
mouse-sy)
1308  -  S       0:05.16 hald-addon-storage: /dev/cd0 (hald-addon-storage)
5495  -  S       0:01.78 hald-addon-storage: /dev/da0 (hald-addon-storage)
5500  -  S       0:01.66 hald-addon-storage: /dev/da1 (hald-addon-storage)

Hope this helps a bit.

Cheers,
DMK
