Yesterday I installed 8.2 (with root on ZFS, btw) and began to compile ports: ports-mgmt/portmaster, ports-mgmt/portaudit... and x11/xorg without HAL option. Having read in these forums recently that HAL was no needed, I tried to start X without running hal or dbus and it worked. Added x11-wm/pekwm, x11/nvidia-driver and x11/nvidia-xconfig and it works well (I am using www/opera).
So the question is: Is dbus really needed? I am puzzled to see the water flowing upwards :q
P.S.: My USB mouse work flawlessly aswell.
