Hence you can put a dvd, an USB memory stick, they won't be automounted anymore. CpuFreq is also relying on HAL and does not work : kpowersave is greyed and CPU speed is blocked at slow speed. HAL is Hardware Abstraction Layer. It works with dbus and hotplug to enable plug-and-play to work well. Missing HAL implies that sound card are not detected and that you won't have sound. I suggest you to read more about Linux architecture. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
