 "Me too".
 
 We have seen this problem with other ports as well, for example
 multimedia/ogmtools and its dependency on libdvdread.
 
 In this particular case, why can't we get rid of hal altogether? It's
 a horrible horrible terrible horrid superfluous piece of software that
 should really not be anywhere near xorg-server.
