Walt, that's good news -- I had the misconception that it doesn't work
for you either.

I do, too. But running the hal rc.d script with "status" after booting
indicates that it is not running.

Some questions:
- Which exact OS version do you run? 5.0 RC3?
- Did you compile the OS or pkgsrc from source? I did the installation
via binary sets and pkg_add of pre-compiled packages from
ftp.netbsd.org.
- Did you do any further configuration file tuning with respect to dbus or hal?
- Would you mind posting the list of packages installed on your machine?

Kind regards
