I recently pushed patches that should restore the majority of the mount backend functionality when compiled with TDEHWLib instead of HAL. These patches affect tdelibs, tdebase, and tdegraphics, so you will need to recompile all three from the latest GIT before trying out the patches.
Please let me know which areas are still regressed compared to HAL after this patchset has been applied.
I'll rebuild but I can build those specific packages only at night. I'll need a day or two to test and report.
The irritating regression right now is the empty dialogs I'm seeing. :-(
