Good question. As far as I know with regards my usage, it's fine... |
5 |
however, it has been some time since I updated so it would probably be a |
6 |
good idea to review all the USE settings available. My USE settings are |
7 |
as follows: |
8 |
|
9 |
"a52 aac acpi alsa -arts -avahi bash-completion branding bzip2 cairo |
10 |
calendar cddb cdinstall cdr cracklib crypt cscope css dbus dri dvd dvdr |
11 |
dvdread eds emboss encode esd evo exif fam ffmpeg fftw firefox ftp gd |
12 |
gif gimp glut gnome gphoto2 gpm gsl gstreamer gtk hal hddtemp icc java |
13 |
java6 jpeg jpeg2k kde kerberos krb4 ldap libcaca mad midi mikmod mmx mp3 |
14 |
mpeg mplayer musicbrainz nls nocd nsplugin nvidia ogg opengl -oss pam |
15 |
pdf php perl png postgres ppds qt3 qt3support qt4 quicktime scanner sdl |
16 |
sockets spell sse sse2 ssl svg svga tcl tcp tcpd tiff tk truetype |
17 |
unicode usb videos vim-syntax vorbis win32codecs X xcomposite xml |
18 |
xscreensaver xv xvid xvmc zlib" |
19 |
|
20 |
Additionally, the INPUT_DEVICES is set to "evdev". |
21 |
|
22 |
The stage3 version I used (downloaded some time ago) is |
23 |
stage3-i686-20100126.tar.bz2. Perhaps what I experienced is something |
24 |
already corrected. There was an associating portage at the time as |
25 |
well, downloaded on Feb 20th. |

That's interesting.... it raises a question - at least to myself - if |
31 |
there's a particular USE setting to trigger evdev. Examination of |
32 |
the /usr/portage/profiles/use.desc file shows no indication of such. Is |
33 |
there some other indicator that should be part of the make.conf file |
34 |
beyond the USE settings and the INPUT_DEVICES setting? |
35 |
|
36 |
Final note: for my rebuild, I'm doing so on a separate partition, logged |
37 |
in there so it should be a clean environment to work in. |
