OK. I should mention that HAL's replacements (DeviceKit and its pieces)
are more limited than HAL. This impacts Trinity, as one of its design
goals is to expose as much useful information to the user as possible.
Currently we strongly recommend to use HAL when possible, as there is no
direct replacement for it under Linux at this time.

Yep. It's masked and I can imagine it will be hell getting it
working... and I'm not really up to reinstalling my gentoo if I mess
badly trying to install hal.
As far as I can tell, yes. ksmserver relies on
HAL at the moment, and
the
appropriate #ifdef logic has not yet been added to the code to disable
HAL.
HAL is simply a small background process that should not affect
anything
else on your system. Why doesn't it work on Gentoo?
On Gentoo HAL cannot be installed with newer versions of udev.
