Yes I set VIDEO_CARDS="nouveau" right at the beginning

[IP-] [ ] x11-drivers/xf86-input-evdev-2.8.2:0
[IP-] [ ] x11-drivers/xf86-input-keyboard-1.7.0:0
[IP-] [ ] x11-drivers/xf86-input-mouse-1.9.0:0
[IP-] [ ] x11-drivers/xf86-video-nouveau-1.0.10:0
[IP-] [ ] x11-drivers/xf86-video-nv-2.1.20-r1:0
I had set INPUT_DEVICES="evdev" right at the beginning and ran
emerge --changed-use --update --keep-going world
several times.
emerge --depclean --ask --ignore-default-opts
only listed xf86-input-mouse. But when I specifically tried
emerge --depclean xf86-input-keyboard
emerge --depclean xf86-video-nv
They were found and now they are gone (so this explains why I found the
nv driver to delete manually).
Anyway I depcleaned the unneeded drivers and now eix -I xf86-
shows only evdev and nouveau as desired.
However the problem remains (screensaver shows time and won't go away).
Thanks for the help,
allan
PS emerge --changed-use --update --keep-going world
shows nothing
