I switched a good while back so this may be a bit fuzzy. I'm running |
| 32 |
eudev-2.1.1 here with no issues. I don't have anything in my USE flag |
| 33 |
about udev and everything I plug in is managed just fine. I'm pretty |
| 34 |
sure your commands above is all I used as well. I don't recall running |
| 35 |
anything outside the norm. |

Basically, after you switch, the OS doesn't see anything different. On |
| 38 |
mine here, even the init scripts have the same name. I was sort of |
| 39 |
expecting them to change from udev to eudev but it didn't. |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
If something is pulling udev back in, may want to add the -t option to |
| 42 |
emerge and see what is pulling it in. |

Hope that helps. |
