Thanks for the responses guys. I've always had it at default also. I
was just wondering.

Now, does hald need dbus? Require dbus? Interesting. I have dbus
installed but it's not running because it caused the Jack sound server
problems. Not even sure what it does or why I should need it but it
caused more problems for me and I couldn't tell what it helped with.

When should dbus be started if I run it? As a boot level process or
default also?

Thanks,
Mark
