Subject: [gentoo-user] GDM kbd/mouse lockup after emerge --update on a stable amd64 platform
- need hints to cure
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1

I did:
emerge -va --update --deep --newuse @world
on a stable gentoo amd64 (multilib) system after switching the profile
from "desktop/gnome" to "desktop" and adding
qt4 and kde flags to make.conf. [I wan to add a few kde apps to the
mix, but not everything.]
Since then, I get a keyboard and mouse lockup when gdm starts. and can't
login graphically or switch to a text console.
I'd rather not do a complete re-install on that instance, so some clue
as to where to look for problems beyond the obvious dmesg
and boot info.
I do get a "dmeventd" failure to start, so lvm-monitoring fails to start
(even after a re-emerge of lvm2) but don't think that as anything to do
with the X lockup. Startx from single user mode also causes a kbd/mouse
lockup.
I've verified that the kernel has the proper event configuration.
Perusing the Xorg.0.log reveals evdev failing to load:

which tell me something went wrong in the re-emerge of xorg something,
but I'd like to get a clue as to just what to do to fix it.
Thanks in advance for any help.
