No disagreement on that, but frankly it doesn't matter to me. It |
| 45 |
works. Takes about 1 minute to rebuild these files. I don't care (as a |
| 46 |
user type) why I have to do it. I do it and my machine works. It |
| 47 |
covers kernel and xorg updates. That's OK with me. |

Or maybe you're just pointing this out to the OP? |
| 50 |
|
| 51 |
I suspect I might have failed with the same problem as the OP myself |
| 52 |
this morning had I used not it. There was an xorg-driver update that |
| 53 |
didn't update all the input devices in my make.conf file. (evdev |
| 54 |
specifically) This command did. Maybe I didn't need to rebuild evdev |
| 55 |
after an sorg-driver update but I suspect you'd agree it's safer if I |
| 56 |
do. |
| 57 |
|
| 58 |
Sometimes the tools take care of things that are just oversights. |
| 59 |
Matters not that I shouldn't have to do it. Matters more that the |
| 60 |
machine works. |
