Yes I set VIDEO_CARDS="nouveau" right at the beginning |

I had set INPUT_DEVICES="evdev" right at the beginning and ran |
| 25 |
emerge --changed-use --update --keep-going world |
| 26 |
several times. |
| 27 |
emerge --depclean --ask --ignore-default-opts |
| 28 |
only listed xf86-input-mouse. But when I specifically tried |
| 29 |
emerge --depclean xf86-input-keyboard |
| 30 |
emerge --depclean xf86-video-nv |
| 31 |
They were found and now they are gone (so this explains why I found the |
| 32 |
nv driver to delete manually). |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
Anyway I depcleaned the unneeded drivers and now eix -I xf86- |
| 35 |
shows only evdev and nouveau as desired. |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
However the problem remains (screensaver shows time and won't go away). |

Thanks for the help, |
