Things are moving along so now I see an udev-215 upgrade to udev-261 on a system running lxde. I intend to migrate this system to lxqt in the next few weeks, after I build up a new workstation. So changing from udev-215 to eudev-1.10-r2 is as simple as unmerging the former and emerging the latter ? The sytem is not tweaked very much and still running a 3.13.6 kernel, for now. Any other caveats (short term) on switching udev to eudev? curiously, James
