I came across a weird issue on my Gentoo box: both keyboard and mouse weren't working. I immediately though of hal and X11...
A quick stroll to the
Gentoo Forums pointed to
x11-drivers/xf86-input-keyboard,
x11-drivers/xf86-input-mouse and x11-drivers/xf86-input-evdev has the culprits!
Here's how to fix the issue:
- $ su
- # eix-sync
- # emerge -1 $(qlist -IC x11-drivers)
This will rebuild X11 drivers in you system and have you using your keyboard and mouse again. If you don't have
qlist installed in your system just emerge
app-portage/portage-utils.
Now wasn't that fun?
;)
