23 Someone posted this one liner a while back:
24
25 emerge -1a $(qlist -I -C x11-drivers/)
26
27 That takes care of the video driver, mouse, keyboard and such. Mine is
28 these packages:
29
30 root@fireball / # qlist -I -C x11-drivers/
31 x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers
32 x11-drivers/xf86-input-evdev
33 x11-drivers/xf86-video-nv
34 x11-drivers/xf86-video-vesa
35 root@fireball / #
36
37 I try to remember to run that when I upgrade the kernel or xorg. I
38 usually forget and have to do the SysReq keystroke magic. After I slap
39 my forehead of course.

41 There are quite a few of these commands that gets posted from time to
42 time. As a hint, I have a text file in my /root directory that contains
43 the commands and a description. I just cat and grep the file when I
44 need to. I wouldn't recommend a user directory tho. If for someone
45 reason only root is mounted, then you can get to /root but not /home if
46 it is a separate partition. You, and other Gentooers, may want to think
47 about doing something like this.

49 Hope this helps in some small way.

58 Miss the compile output? Hint:
