I am not sure how to do this.

Another check on my system shows: emerge --search xf86-input-synaptics Latest version available: 1.3.0 Latest version installed: 1.2.1 emerge --search xf86-input-evdev Latest version available: 2.6.0 Latest version available: 2.4.0 I don't emerge them directly. They are pulled in by xorg-drivers which I have re-emerged several times. Don't know why the latest versions of the drivers don't get installed. Is this the way to force the update without recording into world: emerge --oneshot xf86-input-synaptics xf86-input-evdev Thanks, -- Valmor > > >
