I have just updated xorg to 1.9.4 with USE -hal and removed hal in this order (also needed to remove hal from the default run level). I tried startx using the existing xorg.conf and X does not start correctly, I have no mouse and a frozen screen (no keyboard) with the arrow cursor placed in the middle of the screen. I also tried to start X without an xorg.conf; same problem. Here are the outputs of some commands: emerge --info Portage 2.1.9.25 (default/linux/amd64/10.0, gcc-4.4.4, glibc-2.11.2.-r3, 2.6.36-gentoo-r5 x86_64) emerge -pv --newuse --update --tree --with-bdeps=y world Total: 0 packages, Size of downloads: 0 kB emerge --depclean -vp Dependencies could not be completely resolved due to the following required packages not being installed: sys-apps/hal pulled in by: x11-drivers/xf86-input-synaptics-1.2.1 In make.conf I have: USE="-hal ...." INPUT_DEVICES="evdev synaptics" VIDEO_CARDS="intel" Thanks for your help. -- Valmor
