Hi All,
I had an issue. Manually installing Centos 6 everything worked X11 came up with nvidia binary drivers. Cool. However, I am working on a kickstart install for Centos 6 and that was not working. When I started X it would hang. no mouse no keyboard. however , remote ssh was available and worked.

I continued to look and sure enough hald was installed but not running. I did service haldaemon stop and it said FAILED as expected, then service haldaemon start and it started up. Curious....
<snip> There seem to be a number of problems with X: I *finally* solved mine yesterday, of being forced to use one (very small) font with rxvt, when I found that installing X did *not* install xorg-x11-fonts.
However, I find it very disturbing that haldaemon isn't on by default. I haven't noticed this - has anyone else?
