Well, I had trouble with the new xorg-server too. I added |
| 20 |
"x11-base/xorg-server -hal" to /etc/portage/package.use and everything |
| 21 |
worked fine here. That disables hal which is what causes all the |
| 22 |
problems. My KDE still works fine and as far as I can tell, made no |
| 23 |
difference whatsoever. |

I'm running the latest stable xorg-server and you may want to try it |
| 26 |
this way. It may be easier that keeping the old xorg-server like you |
| 27 |
have now. |

Just a thought. |
