Hi, guys,
After quite a long update list of packages (100+) and a reboot, I
could not work in any window or desktop manager I have installed.
I rebooted (the ACPI power switch worked fine) and managed to get
interactive action during the init scripts and did not allowed "xdm"
to start.
Then I was able to use normaly the keyboard and mouse ("gpm"). Forced
reinstall of xorg-server, xorg-drivers, xorg-cf-files, xdm, kdm (also,
in my case, nvidia-drivers) and tryed to use Window Maker - no mouse
movements, although the pointer was there, and no visible keyboard effect.
Any hints on how to get things back?
Thanks
Francisco

I just went through the same thing. I don't think xorg got updated but
my X wouldn't start at all. This may help you as it did me:
emerge -1a $(qlist -I -C x11-drivers/)
Hope this helps.
