Pete, can you please read the documentation and follow it to the letter: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/xorg-config.xml What you are asking is covered under the section titled "make.conf configuration". To find out if you have something installed you can try: =============================== # emerge --search evdev Searching... [ Results for search key : evdev ] [ Applications found : 1 ] * x11-drivers/xf86-input-evdev Latest version available: 2.5.0 Latest version installed: 2.5.0 Size of files: 306 kB Homepage: http://xorg.freedesktop.org/ Description: Generic Linux input driver License: MIT =============================== If it has not been installed before, it will say: Latest version installed: [ Not Installed ] Alternatively, you can emerge and use app-portage/eix and then run: =============================== # eix -l evdev [I] x11-drivers/xf86-input-evdev Available versions: 2.4.0 "alpha amd64 arm hppa ia64 ~mips ppc ppc64 sh sparc x86" [debug] 2.5.0 "~alpha amd64 arm hppa ~ia64 ~mips ~ppc ppc64 ~sh ~sparc x86" ~ 2.6.0 "~alpha ~amd64 ~arm ~hppa ~ia64 ~mips ~ppc ~ppc64 ~sh ~sparc ~x86" Installed versions: 2.5.0(22:20:38 26/12/10) Homepage: http://xorg.freedesktop.org/ Description: Generic Linux input driver =============================== Finally, if you know the exact package name try running: =============================== # emerge -1aDv xf86-input-evdev These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done! [ebuild R ] x11-drivers/xf86-input-evdev-2.5.0 0 kB Total: 1 package (1 reinstall), Size of downloads: 0 kB Would you like to merge these packages? [Yes/No] No Quitting. ============================ The R symbol denotes that you are trying to re-emerge it. If you hadn't installed it, you get [ebuild N ] for 'new'. HTH. PS. Please try to avoid top posting. It breaks the natural flow of the discussion. > 2011/1/16 walt <w41...@gmail.com> > > > On 01/15/2011 07:17 AM, doherty pete wrote: > >> when i input > >> Xorg -configure > >> the log is > >> > > [ 442.765] (EE) Failed to load module "evdev" (module does not exist, > > > >> 0) > > > > This is all very confusing unless you know the history of evdev, which > > most sane people don't know.
