Comment 12 for bug 43962

I don't believe that the Debian bug and this bug are about the same issue. In the debian bug, the hald-runner is crashing, here the root cause seems to be the input probing endianess fix. Can anyone please try this:

  sudo apt-get update
  sudo apt-get build-dep hal
  apt-get source hal
  cd hal-0.5.7
  rm debian/patches/13_probe_input_endianess.patch
  debuild -us -uc -b
  sudo dpkg -i ../hal_*.deb

and then reboot and check if it works again?
