That will remove it globally from the entire system, which might not be what |
| 13 |
you want. IIRC k3b needs hal for instance to work correctly. |

I usually read the ebuilds and grep directly through files to find this kind |
| 24 |
of stuff :-) I find it easier than remembering commands. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
The xorg-server ebuild says: |
| 27 |
IUSE_SERVERS="dmx kdrive xorg" |
| 28 |
IUSE="${IUSE_SERVERS} doc hal ipv6 minimal nptl tslib +udev" |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
So it uses all those flags, and "udev" is on by default unless you explicitly |
| 31 |
say otherwise somewhere. |

Post the USE section from emerge --info, the output from |
| 38 |
emerge -vp x11-base/xorg-server. |
| 39 |
the output from |
| 40 |
grep -r udev /etc/portage/* |
| 41 |
grep -r hal /etc/portage/* |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
and let's take it from there. |
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
Finding stuff in profiles is tricky, you have to search upwards through the |
| 46 |
directories, not downwards. |
