Hi list!
I'm a bit confused about the meaning of the hal useflag on the
x11-base/xorg-server ebuilds nowadays. When I deactivate it, hot-plugin
a mouse does not work and special keys on the keyboard are not detected.
When I enable it, everything works but several driver packages (evdev
and mouse, probably others) want me to deactivate it.
Does this have anything to do with me still using /etc/X11/xorg.conf and
not auto configuration? Or maybe the update to Gnome-2.28? Or the
general deprecation of hal?
In short: Did I miss any update advice or do I have to fiddle around
with the settings and useflags until something usable is found, like usual?
Delete everything related to input devices in xorg.conf and make sure
the "udev" USE flag is enabled for xorg-server.
