The easiest way is to do it in single user mode. And lets now get back to reality - the reality that now breaks the previously working setup of lots of users. So you are telling me that in order to get my volume key functionality back I have to get rid of HAL and X? Lets turn back time a bit. Why was this change made? IOW, what was the reason for breaking a working setup for lots of users? It better be a damn good reason, or I would heavily argue for reverting this change so that 2.6.25 actually WORKS as expected for thinkpad users. -- Jens Axboe -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
