+ <flag name='acpi'>Enables HAL to attempt to read from /proc/acpi/event, if
+ unavailable, HAL will read events from <pkg>sys-power/acpid</pkg>. If
+ you need multiple acpi readers, ensure acpid is in your default
+ runlevel (rc-update add acpid default) along with HAL. This will also
+ enable HAL to read Toshiba and IBM acpi events which do not get sent
+ via /proc/acpi/event</flag>
+ <flag name='crypt'>Allows HAL to mount volumes that are encrypted using
+ LUKS. <pkg>sys-fs/cryptsetup-luks</pkg> which has recently been renamed
+ to <pkg>sys-fs/cryptsetup</pkg> allows you to create such encrypted
+ volumes. HAL will be able to handle volumes that are removable or
+ fixed.</flag>
+ <flag name='dell'>Builds an installs the Dell addon, which reads data from
+ the Dell SM BIOS via <pkg>sys-libs/libsmbios</pkg>. It will read your
+ service tag information and your hardware backlight data as well as
+ allow you to modify the backlight settings on a Dell laptop.</flag>
+ <flag name='disk-partition'>Allows HAL to use libparted from
+ <pkg>sys-apps/parted</pkg> to read raw partition data from your disks
+ and process that data. Future versions of HAL (possibly 0.5.11 and
+ higher) will allow you to create, modify, delete and format partitions
+ from a GUI interface agnostic of your desktop environment.</flag>
+ <flag name='doc'>Generates documentation that describes HAL's fdi
+ format.</flag>
+ <flag name='pcmcia'>Allows HAL to process PCMCIA/CardBus slot data which
+ includes inserts and removals and act on these events.</flag>
+ <flag name='selinux'>Installs SELinux policies and links HAL to the SELinux
+ libraries.</flag>
+</use>
