Hi, Gentoo.
I've just emerge --sync'd, and there's a massive amount of X server
updates. When I try emerge -auND, I get told:
The following USE changes are necessary to proceed:
#required by x11-drivers/xf86-input-evdev-2.7.0, required by
x11-base/xorg-drivers-1.12[input_devices_evdev]
>=x11-base/xorg-server-1.12.2 udev
. So I need the udev use flag. This is somewhat distressing, since
I've been running my system on busybox's mdev for several months. It's
looking like I'll not be able to continue doing so.
Any suggestions, anybody, how I can now best proceed?

The message indicates that =x11-base/xorg-drivers-1.12 *WITH EVDEV*
requires udev. I don't use evdev. I keyworded
"=x11-base/xorg-drivers-1.12 ~x86" and I get...
[d531][root][~] emerge -pv x11-base/xorg-drivers
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
Calculating dependencies... done!

For starters, I suggest...
grep evdev /etc/make.conf
...and look at what you have to get rid of. My machine works fine
without evdev. Actually, I start my USE var in make.conf with "-*".
Then I add only items that I want, or that software I want requires.

Thanks for the tip. In the end, I've decided to go back to udev. Not
that I really want to, but I just don't have the time at the moment to
sort out the complexities of doing without evdev, and the other things
which would surely crop up.
So I now have a mammoth root partition containing /usr, the lesser of the
two available evils (the other being, of course, building an initramfs).
Mdev worked, and worked well.
There seems to be a relentless process at large, whereby the
opportunities to create an aesthetically pleasing individual system are
gradually diminishing. Shame.
