The message indicates that =x11-base/xorg-drivers-1.12 *WITH EVDEV* |
19 |
requires udev. I don't use evdev. I keyworded |
20 |
"=x11-base/xorg-drivers-1.12 ~x86" and I get... |
21 |
|
22 |
[d531][root][~] emerge -pv x11-base/xorg-drivers |

|

These are the packages that would be merged, in order: |

Calculating dependencies... done! |

For starters, I suggest... |
30 |
|
31 |
grep evdev /etc/make.conf |
32 |
|
33 |
...and look at what you have to get rid of. My machine works fine |
34 |
without evdev. Actually, I start my USE var in make.conf with "-*". |
35 |
Then I add only items that I want, or that software I want requires. |
