Nope, unmerged it and deleted it from make.conf, then when I emerged xf86-video-ati and evdev all other drivers (mouse, keyboard, synaptics) were brought in as well. >> >> I am not clear which /etc/hal/fdi/policy/* files I should have in >> there ... any ideas? > > That depends on what hardware you have -- a lot of the stuff that once > went into xorg.conf can be put in an fdi file now. > > Here is an example: Thanks for that. I tried the startx trick. I recall that this would launch my WM (fluxbox), but now all I get is an X session with twm! Has something changed with /etc/rc.conf? Where should I specify fluxbox? No /var/log/xdm.log or other errors were there this time. Trying to start xdm and I keep getting the same old errors: XIO: fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server (:0.0) and (EE) XKB: No components provided for device Virtual core keyboard. I am running out of things to try now. I don't have a recent enough back up otherwise I would roll back this bad experience. -- Regards, Mick
