Someone posted this one liner a while back:
emerge -1a $(qlist -I -C x11-drivers/)
That takes care of the video driver, mouse, keyboard and such. Mine is
these packages:
root@fireball / # qlist -I -C x11-drivers/
x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers
x11-drivers/xf86-input-evdev
x11-drivers/xf86-video-nv
x11-drivers/xf86-video-vesa
root@fireball / #
I try to remember to run that when I upgrade the kernel or xorg. I
usually forget and have to do the SysReq keystroke magic. After I slap
my forehead of course.
There are quite a few of these commands that gets posted from time to
time. As a hint, I have a text file in my /root directory that contains
the commands and a description. I just cat and grep the file when I
need to. I wouldn't recommend a user directory tho. If for someone
reason only root is mounted, then you can get to /root but not /home if
it is a separate partition. You, and other Gentooers, may want to think
about doing something like this.
Hope this helps in some small way.
