Yes, it's happened before& I was not surprised:
I had to switch the machine off, reboot, login as root
-- experience long ago made me avoid booting directly into a GUI --
& recompile 'xf86-input-evdev', after which everything returned to normal.
Yes, there's a warning after the new 'xorg-drivers' has been installed,
but I wasn't sure exactly which pkg(s) needed remerging, so took the chance.
it gives you an actual command that will emerge all x11-drivers/*.
Yes, but it's not precise enough :
root:534 xorg-server> qlist -I -C x11-drivers/
x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers
x11-drivers/xf86-input-evdev
x11-drivers/xf86-video-nv
x11-drivers/xf86-video-vesa
The only one I needed to remerge is the 2nd in the list.
But you don't know that for sure, and neither can portage (driver ABI
changes are not something portage can track.) The only sure thing is to
emerge them all.
