Summary
Hal is in the process of being deprecated, since it has become a large monolithic unmaintainable mess, and also duplicates a lot of functionality which are nowadays provided by udev and the kernel itself. Please see David Zeuthen's and Kay Siever's summaries of plans.

GNOME power management |
g-p-m uses DeviceKit-power now, but backlight handling still require hal when the backlight is not a xrandr device. All the X drivers need to support XBACKLIGHT before we can turn it off completely. Intel do, nouveau sortof does, so we could disable HAL in g-p-m using a #ifdef if we're sure the drivers support backlight -> You can use --enable-hal=no at compilation time. See upstream bug |
