I was using hald, dbus and even ivman before the upgrade. I have tried reemerging xorg-server with and without hal and it makes no difference. I think the problem is BEFORE even hal comes into the picture. lsusb doesn't report anything being connected either and I think it would even if a GUI was not running. I don't think this is related to xorg-server or KDE and friends. It acts like a kernel problem but I'm booting the same old kernel that I have had for quite a while now. I can't upgrade because the new kernel doesn't like my IDE chipset and gcc doesn't like it much either. I get compile errors that according to google are being fixed. Those two appear to be related. It seems like my Linux is going belly up here lately. First xorg, then my camera and now my printer is dead too. Add in that I can't upgrade my kernel because of some other issues. Jeez, make me think. Dale :-) :-) P. S. This may help. If you need more, just let me know. I'll downgrade something if needed. Heck, I'll downgrade a lot of things if needed. lol I'm just not going to install windoze. :-@ r...@smoker / # emerge -vp hal dbus xorg-server libgphoto2 These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done!
