I meant detect this from the hardware and not from the installer. Changing the 
fdi-file via the installer wouldn't work because if you install a HAL update 
the settings get may overwritten. So it would be may better to set nothing in 
the HAL/hal-info packages and set this on an other way (may via a special new 
fdi-file under /etc/... , but XML sucks (IMO) and not each installer want to 
add code to parse and change XML fdi-files).
