I had the same problem last weekend. After a day I couldn't so I ran |
| 22 |
"emerge -e --keep-going world" (after backing up a few important files |
| 23 |
and running eclean-dist and emerge with dist-clean). Twenty hours later |
| 24 |
everything was back. I only had a few administrative task and |
| 25 |
everything was ok. The only problem I have left is the "There was an |
| 26 |
error starting the GNOME Settings Daemon" error. If I run startx a few |
| 27 |
times it seems to go away and that will have to due until I get around |
| 28 |
to fixing it. |

This probably wasn't the ideal solution, but it worked. The toughest |
| 31 |
part was leaving the computer for so long. |

Also, there use to be a command that would build an xorg.conf.new file |
| 34 |
in the root's home directory. It was call xconfig or something like |
| 35 |
that; I can't seem to find it anymore. Has it been deprecated? |
