Description :

What does FreeBSD recommend as a HAL replacement?
udev was the closest I
could find, and even then I had to implement huge chunks of HAL
functionality on top of udev, udisks, upower, etc. Surely they aren't
suggesting applications natively probe the hardware; that would be
ridiculous and never supported by TDE.

The handbook says: Xorg uses HAL.
