Issues with Hal and Xorg

Hello!

I re-install my Arch Linux with install for FTP and it is 100% update!

The prolems are:

1- The HAL not work with normal user, I add the use in hal.conf but not functional.

OBS: My user is "Alexandre"

<!DOCTYPE busconfig PUBLIC
 "-//freedesktop//DTD D-BUS Bus Configuration 1.0//EN"
 "http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/dbus/1.0/busconfig.dtd">
<busconfig>

  <!-- This configuration file specifies the required security policies
       for the HAL to work. -->

  <!-- Only root, user hal and user alexandre can own the HAL service -->
  <policy user="hal">
    <allow own="org.freedesktop.Hal"/>
  </policy>
  <policy user="root">
    <allow own="org.freedesktop.Hal"/>
  </policy>
  <policy user="alexandre">
    <allow own="org.freedesktop.Hal"/>  
  </policy>


  <!-- Allow anyone to invoke methods on the Manager and Device interfaces -->
  <policy context="default">
    <allow send_interface="org.freedesktop.Hal.Manager"/>
    <allow send_interface="org.freedesktop.Hal.Device"/>
    <allow receive_interface="org.freedesktop.Hal.Manager"
           receive_sender="org.freedesktop.Hal"/>
    <allow receive_interface="org.freedesktop.Hal.Device"
           receive_sender="org.freedesktop.Hal"/>

    <allow send_interface="org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.SystemPowerManagement"/>
    <allow send_interface="org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.LaptopPanel"/>
    <allow send_interface="org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume"/>
    <allow send_interface="org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume.Crypto"/>
    <allow receive_interface="org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.SystemPowerManagement"
       receive_sender="org.freedesktop.Hal"/>
    <allow receive_interface="org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.LaptopPanel"
       receive_sender="org.freedesktop.Hal"/>
    <allow receive_interface="org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume"
       receive_sender="org.freedesktop.Hal"/>
    <allow receive_interface="org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume.Crypto"
       receive_sender="org.freedesktop.Hal"/>
  </policy>

  <!-- Default policy for the exported interfaces; if PolicyKit is not used
       for access control you will need to modify this -->
  <policy context="default">
    <allow send_interface="org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.SystemPowerManagement"/>
    <allow send_interface="org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.VideoAdapterPM"/>
    <allow send_interface="org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.LaptopPanel"/>
    <allow send_interface="org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume"/>
    <allow send_interface="org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume.Crypto"/>
  </policy>

</busconfig>

2- The Xorg

While start second session (startx -- :1) I`m NOT CAT SEE tty1 tty2 tty3... AND THE FIRST SESSION OF XORG (startx -- :0)

It is bug?

Other issue is my trackpoint of IBM Thinkpad X60s, the scroll not work.
I have add

    Option        "ZAxisMapping" "4 5 6 7"
    Option          "EmulateWheel"          "on"
    Option          "EmulateWheelButton"    "2"

but not work.

Thanks.

For the mouse wheel scroll, you need to add an fdi policy for HAL to find as in the wiki here:

Re: Issues with Hal and Xorg

I think I have the same issue. You got "permission denied", when you try to open a mounted directory ?

Not unranked,

i'm no got the message "permission denid", it not auto mount.

While I mount in shell (mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/pen) it is mount correct.

while I active the daemon GDM on boot and make login with normal user, the hal work correct, but when I'm not use GDM and make login in shell (init 3) the HAL not work.

thanks

Re: Issues with Hal and Xorg

is gnome-volume-manager running while you're in the shell, or have you installed something like lvman/autofs?  see:
