  <policy user="linux">
    <allow send_interface="org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.SystemPowerManagement"/>
    <allow send_interface="org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.VideoAdapterPM"/>
    <allow send_interface="org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.LaptopPanel"/>

Re: can't use hal automount

It is not the task of Hal to mount:

http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Udev

The auto-mounting of usb drives etc can be done with udev or a program like  thunar-volman.

Yeah, the best solution to write a good udev rules which works in all we/wm instead of to let to the wm/de handles it
