Give input settings similar to this a try. This works in my /etc/make.conf. |

|

INPUT_DEVICES="keyboard mouse synaptics evdev" |

|

If you're not on a laptop, you may not need synaptics, but I'd throw the |

others in there. |

Hi, |
15 |
Thanks. On my system i do have Espeak installed. What profile and USE flags |
16 |
do you have set? |
17 |
Right now my problem is when gnome starts i don't have any keyboard control, |
18 |
the keyboard works at a text console, but at the gnome login screen I type |
19 |
and get no output. |
20 |
Thanks. |
21 |
Dave. |
