As some already know, I removed hal a long time ago so basically you |
| 55 |
want a set up similar to mine now. This is in my make.conf: |
| 56 |
|
| 57 |
INPUT_DEVICES="keyboard mouse evdev" |
| 58 |
|
| 59 |
Don't forget to enable udev as Mike suggested too. I put mine in the |
| 60 |
USE line. After all, about all hardware now uses udev to see hardware. |
| 61 |
|

Hope this helps a little. |
