Hello everybody,

can you explain to me what is it : dbus_enable="YES" and hald_enable="YES" in file /etc/rc.conf? What is their function?

In explicit correspondence with their names, these settings enable to run dbus and hald. dbus is a D-Bus messaging daemon, hald is a HAL daemon. These programs are using in X environment to automount DVD's, flashcards and another, even mices and keyboards

Since Xorg 1.7.5 running dbus and hald is required in some hardware equipment.
