Hi,

I am using,
HAL package version: 0.5.11
D-Bus Message Bus Daemon 1.4.1
udevd version 141

Hald daemon is not able to run properly or not getting ready. Please see
the output of following commands run in order.
**
*#hald --daemon=no --verbose=yes*
01:41:53.787 [I] hald.c:669: hal 0.5.11

*#lshal*
Could not initialise connection to hald.
Normally this means the HAL daemon (hald) is not running or not ready.

*#dbus-send --print-reply --system --dest=org.freedesktop.DBus
/org/freedesktop/DBus org.freedesktop.DBus.ListNames*
method return sender=org.freedesktop.DBus -> dest=:1.17 reply_serial=2
array [
string "org.freedesktop.DBus"
string ":1.17"
string ":1.5"
string ":1.15"
string "org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit"
string ":1.6"
]

There are no error messages in hald output. And both dbus and udev daemons
are running.
I am using evdev driver in xorg.conf  (xorg with hal support) so my mouse
and keyboard are also not working.
Xorg log is giving error "(EE) config/hal: couldn't initialise context:
unknown error (null)"
So this issue has become critical.

Thanks in advance.
