I'm not getting keyboard but you should be able to use the commands below to determine why that's happening on your system. I checked my world file and the only x11-drivers package I have in there is the radeon-ucode firmware package.

Either way, the solution must be therefore to remerge x11-base/xorg-drivers every time the content of INPUT_DEVICES is changed.

Either way, the solution must be therefore to remerge x11-base/xorg-drivers every time the content of INPUT_DEVICES is changed. I suggest adding -N (--newuse) to that command, as in emerge -uaDvN world. This will take USE flag changes into account when deciding on packages to (re)install. Note that INPUT_DEVICES is really just a fancy wrapper around a set of USE flags.

You could always grep for INPUT_DEVICES into /etc/portage, user -R for recursive search. Also, make sure there's no other statement for INPUT_DEVICES in make.conf after the one you posted above. -- Jesús Guerrero Botella
