I found similar stuff lying around after going over to Udev some time ago |
| 18 |
& have removed the items marked 'YES' & rebooted successfully; |
| 19 |
the others (N/A) are not present in my machine. |
| 20 |
/etc/devfs.d contained svgalib , which I hadn't remerged for a while, |
| 21 |
but after merging a newer version, it didn't restore that file |
| 22 |
(and tried to remove /etc/devfs.d/svgalib , which wasn't there); |
| 23 |
I tested Mplayer (which uses Svgalib) & it runs ok. |
| 24 |
As always for safety in such cases, I created a dir /etc/devfs-old , |
| 25 |
into which I moved the items I have dropped, |
| 26 |
so that I could easily restore them if there were a problem: |
| 27 |
after a few days, I'll probably remember to delete it. |

Holly's comments are sensible, as always, |
| 30 |
but it's a good idea to tidy things up every so often |
| 31 |
as part of understanding what's going on in your box, |
| 32 |
which is the real point of using Gentoo in the first place (smile). |
