Hi Mick, I took another look here. It seems that for Virtualbox that xf86-input-virtualbox is pulling in xf86-input-mouse. Not sure if that's a bug in the ebuild or whether it's really required. I haven't spotted any settable flags that seem to effect it. (Haven't looked very hard.) Anyway, I'm using evdev for X, like you, and like you I'm getting the old mouse driver for apparently other reasons. I'm not getting keyboard but you should be able to use the commands below to determine why that's happening on your system. - Mark mark@c2stable ~ $ equery depends xf86-input-mouse [ Searching for packages depending on xf86-input-mouse... ] x11-base/xorg-drivers-1.9 (input_devices_mouse? x11-drivers/xf86-input-mouse) x11-drivers/xf86-input-virtualbox-4.0.4 (x11-drivers/xf86-input-mouse) mark@c2stable ~ $ mark@c2stable ~ $ emerge --tree -pe xorg-drivers | grep mouse mark@c2stable ~ $ emerge --tree -pe xf86-input-virtualbox | grep mouse [ebuild R ] x11-drivers/xf86-input-mouse-1.6.0 <<<------------------------------------------- [nomerge ] x11-drivers/xf86-input-mouse-1.6.0 mark@c2stable ~ $ mark@c2stable ~ $ emerge --tree -pe xf86-input-virtualbox These are the packages that would be merged, in reverse order: Calculating dependencies... done!
