I have just updated xorg to 1.9.4 with USE -hal and removed hal in
this order (also needed to remove hal from the default run level). I
tried startx using the existing xorg.conf and X does not start
correctly, I have no mouse and a frozen screen (no keyboard) with the
arrow cursor placed in the middle of the screen. I also tried to start
X without an xorg.conf; same problem.
Since you removed HAL support, did you enable udev support?
I am not sure how to do this. Is it a matter of adding a USE="udev" in
/etc/make.conf ?
It's a USE flag of xorg-server.
emerge --depclean -vp
Dependencies could not be completely resolved due to
the following required packages not being installed:
sys-apps/hal pulled in by:
x11-drivers/xf86-input-synaptics-1.2.1
Check your package.use. Also try to unmerge xf86-input-synaptics and then
emerge it again.
Another check on my system shows:
emerge --search xf86-input-synaptics
Latest version available: 1.3.0
Latest version installed: 1.2.1
emerge --search xf86-input-evdev
Latest version available: 2.6.0
Latest version available: 2.4.0
I don't emerge them directly. They are pulled in by xorg-drivers which
I have re-emerged several times.
xorg-drivers doesn't install files. It's only a meta-package.
Don't know why the latest versions of
the drivers don't get installed. Is this the way to force the update
without recording into world:
emerge --oneshot xf86-input-synaptics xf86-input-evdev
The best way it to emerge -auDN world, like always.
