Hello, I have successfully upgraded several gentoo systems, (workstations and laptops) to xorg-x11 7.0, without incident.
On a clevo portable, I did the same thing, following: http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/desktop/x/x11/modular-x-howto.xml During the install, it hung upon xkb so it told me to remove: /usr/lib/X11/xkb I did what what suggested, thinking it would get rebuilt. I used 'equery belongs xkb' and rebuilt those packages: x11-apps/xkbcomp and x11-misc/xkeyboard-config Still in /etc/X11/xkb the symbolic link flashes red indicated that /usr/lib/X11/xkb does not exit. KDM will not fire up automactically. So I log in and run 'startx' and here are the errors I get: 'failed to load module "kbd" (modules does not exist, 0)' and 'Cannot open device /dev/input/mice No such file or dir' On the mouse issue 'ls /dev/input' shows only this dir: by-path On my other xorg 7.0 systems I get this: # ls /dev/input event0 event1 event2 mice mouse0 mouse1 I've hacked at this a while but not making any progress... Ideas? James -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
