I'm a long time Slackware user, but recently started using Ach on my laptop. Arch seems better suited for my desktop needs.
Now I'm using KDE but I've also installed DBUS and HAL, and I'm wondering if there's any support for HAL in the KDE packages in Arch, or if there's anything that can be installed to provide that support?
Or is having HAL in KDE completelly unusefull?

If HAL is started when KDE is started (put it in the daemons list in /etc/rc.conf to start it automaticly at boot - run "/etc/rc.d/hal start" to start it if the computer is allready running), KDE should automaticly take advantage of HAL (that's what I remember from when I used kde 3.5.1)

Yep, I'll confirm that - just make sure that both DBUS and HAL are running.

if you only have hal in DAEMONS in the rc.conf without dbus, it will startup dbus automatically.

I have dbus installed and running from boot. However when I tried to run the epiphany browser (I have both kde and gnome installed) in kde it complained that it could not find the message bus. I then modified my .xinitrc to include
exec dbus-launch --exit-with-session startkde
and ran startkde. Epiphany now worked without any complaints and all my other apps seem to launch faster.
