Recommended update for hal
SUSE Recommended Update: Recommended update for hal
This update for hal provides the following fixes:
*
Rewrite X keyboard configuration if required, i.e. when the system
keyboard layout has changed. This way this process won't be done any
longer in xdm init script, preventing a race condition which could lead to
corrupting the .fdi file. (bsc#841789)
*
Do not install a signal handler on the forked hal daemon before
being able to properly handle it. (bsc#808462)
*
Allow disabling storage device probing by setting
HALD_IGNORE_STORAGE to "yes" in /etc/sysconfig/hal. (bsc#808462,
bsc#847425)
*
Do not kill the child when it takes too long to probe devices, as it
will only shutdown hald after the probe is complete. (bsc#808462)
