Configuring hardware - migrating from hal to udev
After trying on a few occasions to do this myself, I was forced to finally commit with the release of xfce 4.8. The steps here are based on the instructions outlined by ssuominen on the gentoo forums and with contributions from others in the gentoo community. First, make the necessary modifications to your /etc/make.conf.
$ sudo nano -w /etc/make.conf
Ensure the following USE flags are set:
USE="-hal consolekit dbus pam policykit udev"
Next we will make some modifications to /etc/portage/package.use .
$ sudo nano -w /etc/portage/package.use
Ensure the following directives are set. You may also want to ensure the hal USE flag is removed from any package in the file.
gnome-base/gvfs gdu sys-block/parted device-mapper
Sync portage before getting started with emerging packages.
$ sudo emerge --sync
Next you will want to perform the following emerge.
$ sudo emerge -av gnome-base/gvfs sys-fs/udisks sys-power/upower sys-auth/polkit
