OK.  I remerged dbus, hal and ivman.  I also had to delete some hal 
config files at portages request.  It works now.  I guess it was a 
dependancy thing or something.

Now I have a new question.  I had to unmask dbus and ivman I think it 
was to get KDE 3.5 to install.  How did it downgrade and not mess up KDE?

Thanks
