I emerged xorg-server with the -hal and when I right clicked, the GUI crashed. I was back to a login screen. It has been ages since I have had my GUI to crash. All in all, this xorg update has sort of left a bad taste in my mouth. I hate, I do mean HATE, to pull the plug on my rig. I can handle a lot but not that. I still think I'm going to leave xorg masked for a while and let someone that can at least ssh into their box deal with these "issues". Personally, I think this was a bit much. To many things left undone and especially unsaid. After following the threads about this, here and on -dev, I am still no where near ready to try this again. Once you are looking at the login screen and the keyboard don't work, you're screwed. There is really no back up at that point, not for me at least. Here's to waiting on hal to upgrade some more. Maybe eselect can help us pick our keyboard and mouse and poke in the correct information so that they work. Maybe running xorgconfig can do this. Still making notes for when I get my backups updated. Dale :-) :-)
