Well, I upgraded to xorg-server-1.6 and guess what, it was a bust, |
| 28 |
AGAIN. I moved xorg.conf, re-emerged the xf86-input-* stuff and it did |
| 29 |
do a little better. I bumped the mouse and the pointer moved, then it |
| 30 |
locked up and my fans started spinning up so I assume the CPU was going |
| 31 |
nuts. I had to use the Aly SysReq keys to get back to a console. So, I |
| 32 |
added -hal to my package.use file and re-emerged xorg-server and now it |
| 33 |
works fine. |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
I hate to say it this way, but hal just plain sucks. I may play with it |
| 36 |
some later but I'm getting sick of hal big time. It's starting to |
| 37 |
really leave a bad taste in my mouth. |
