I am running x86 on an AMD64 and have a Logitech Wave Desktop set (USB). I noticed an error with the merge of sys-apps/hal-0.5.11-r8 requesting I fix it with; ERROR: Kernel configuration is invalid. include/linux/autoconf.h or include/config/auto.conf are missing. Run 'make oldconfig && make prepare' on kernel src to fix it. I did this then re-merged hal. I double checked the files and found that there were no files in any of the sub dirs in /etc/hal/fdi. X.org was still working fine regards my keyboard and mouse, so I also checked my xorg.conf and it still had the input sections removed. I don't know if this is a bug, I thought the policy files had to be there for X to read them to install mouse/kbd when X starts as per this postinstall section from hal merge; X Input Hotplugging (if you build xorg-server with the HAL useflag) reads user specific configuration from /etc/hal/fdi/policy/. You should remove the Input sections from your xorg.conf once you have migrated the rules to a HAL fdi file. I don't understand how I'm getting a mouse and kbd when the relevant file is missing. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.emerge sys-apps/hal (merge Xorg with hal USE) 2. 3.

There should be no files in /etc/hal/fdi, unless you've created them yourself. Hal ships with a few files in /usr/share/hal that create 'default' settings for input, but those settings are incorrect for most of the people (at least those outside en_US). And with the way hal configuration is created, always crosscheck your config files with their final result - the one that hal reports.

Is that correct? Also, what command do I use to get hal reports?
