After it finished, it said 75 files in /etc needed updating. OK, I've seen this before and have made mistakes with it. So this time, I copied all of /etc to /home/mark/etc.old, and then ran etc-update. I then let it auto merge everything and rebooted. At this point, KDE would not start. Instead, I got a generic-looking X11 screen, and had no mouse. So I did Ctrl+Alt+F1 and got back to a cmd line. Then I copied everything back from /etc.old back to its original place in /etc and rebooted again. Now, KDE starts, and I have a normal login screen. However, when I log in, KDE hangs on "Initializing Peripherals". Eventually, the KDE startup screen goes away, and I'm left with a blank screen except for my background, but no desktop icons. Any idea how to fix this? Thanks -- Mark [unwieldy legal disclaimer would go here - feel free to type your own] -- gentoo-amd64@gentoo.org mailing list
