Trouble with dependencies is they present themselves the wrong way round when you try to debug them. It's the classic grandfather problem: I ask you who is your granddad?, that's an easy one, you say it's John Smith. Now I go find John Smith and ask him who's your grandson? He says I have more than one. Which one you interested in? and you can't answer that without more information. When you look in an ebuild for DEPENDS, you are using the first case. When you try debug portage output, you often end up at the second case. I imagine the real reason portage doesn't have excellent tools to help answer that is becuase the problem is infernally difficult to do correctly, and the output will always be mind-bogglingly confusing. Moving a little off-topic, I have a similar thing at work. A perfectly valid question I often get asked is when did we last receive a mail to x...@company.com? HR want to know this so they can know when to retire an address. I can't tell them, not without an exhaustive manual search of mail logs. In the meantime, I'll carry on not starting Gnome at boot-up.

No more access to the system besides booting an unbuntu livecd. According to /var/log/Xorg.0.log, evdev cant't be loaded any more (see below). What can I do ? Is there an upgrade to evdev ? No you just need to rebuild it, so emerge xf86-input-evdev This problem hit me too. Can you give us an explanation for needing to rebuild evdev? Was there some missing dependency in an ebuild, or something? It is sort of like when you update a kernel and have to rebuild the video drivers. One is built against the other and when you upgrade, you have to update the things it was built against. There are other examples of this but this is just the first one I thought of. Anyone recall expat? That I think is another. Dale :-) :-)

If you update xorg (which OP didnt list, but a new version just went stable) you need to rebuild its drivers (unless they were automatically rebuilt due to version bump).

Make an entry in your grub.conf with gentoo=nox, so you can boot to command line. here's what mine looks like title Gentoo Linux 2.6.39-r1a root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/kernel-2.6.39-r1a root=/dev/sda3 usbcore.autosuspend=1 title Gentoo Linux 2.6.39-r1a Console root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/kernel-2.6.39-r1a root=/dev/sda3 usbcore.autosuspend=1 gentoo=nox

Something like the DEPEND variable? It's already there, but doesn't help as the update trigger never happens. Actually, you have the depend the wrong way round - evdev depends on xorg-server; to have the driver and for it to be useful, the xorg- server must be present, otherwise there is nothing for the drivers to build against. You want to force a rebuild that is the opposite of the DEPEND, but portage does not support that (it's a circular dependency). It will also not rebuild the driver as part of a regular update as there is not a new version of the driver, hence according to normal portage logic there is no need to do so.

Honestly, the alpha designation also made me shy away from 2.2 Really, someone should rebrand that as beta, if 2.2 is indeed usable for a couple of years. That said, thanks for the heads-up.
