Only for Slackware 12.2

For the first step you need to read the article for doing the same work with the release 12.1 of the Slackware Linux (Give at_console right for D-bus with Slackware 12.1 and xdm). Apply all actions but you will use the DVD of the Slackware Linux 12.2.
After done, you need to modify the following file which configure some autorizations between HAL and DBUS : /etc/dbus-1/system.d/hal.conf by adding the following lines a the end of the file (just before the tag </busconfig>) :
<!-- This will not work if pam_console support is not enabled -->
<!-- Slackware does not include pam_console support -->
<!-- XDM modified by Crabs fakes pam_console -->
<policy at_console="true">
<allow send_interface="org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.SystemPowerManagement"/>
<allow send_interface="org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.LaptopPanel"/>
<allow send_interface="org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume"/>
<allow send_interface="org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume.Crypto"/>
</policy>
