Topic explains problem.

I have searched through the forums and following advice there tried setting
PYTHON_TARGETS="python2_7"
PYTHON_SINGLE_TARGET="python2_7"
USE_PYTHON="2.7"

I used eselect python to set the python engine to 2.7. I ran python-updater multiple times.
When that failed, I removed ...

I'm going to assume you're using udev.

First make sure that the device is in /etc/udev/rules.d/70-libsane.rules
grep 04b8 /etc/udev/rules.d/70-libsane.rules | grep 0811

If it is, it should be showing up in /dev/bus/usb. Make sure the group is scanner.
ls -l /dev/bus/usb/001/003

If it is, you ...

I removed all the .kde files in my home directory. .kde, .kde4, .kderc. That did the trick. Thanks!

Brand new install. Have ~x86 in make.conf, so I got kde4.

For some reason, my cursor keys and my delete key don't work. I can use the keypad to navigate, and the delete key there works just fine. I've tried the normal ones with numlock on and numlock off.

I am about 95% positive it has something ...

After banging around on lots of forums looking for lots of things, it was a throwaway comment in an lirc forum that did the trick.

In the "ServerLayout" section of /etc/X11/xorg.conf I added: Option "AutoAddDevices" "False"

Of course, this made my keyboard stop working, so I had to set that as ...

The best thing to do is put the command in /etc/conf.d/local.start. You may or may not want to use the "&" at the end of the line to background the process. Depends on your script and the speed of your computer.

If you really need X to start first, then put a few lines at the top of your script ...

I don't have this particular theme, so I can't say for certain, but let's examine what you're seeing (actually, I just did a fresh install and don't have bootsplash at all :)).

Your grub entry calls for a resolution of 1920x1200. The debug output is trying to load the 640x480 cfg file. An entirely ...

Just for giggles, try to use the 'nv' driver instead of 'nvidia' in your card Device section of /etc/X11/xorg.conf. See if that gets you anything.

Also, are the modelines matched up to output of running "gtf" (man gtf)?

Because the evdev event node can change for any number of reasons, you may want to look into using the correct symlink in /dev/input/by-id/DEVNAME-event-TYPE instead of /dev/input/eventX. Save yourself a headache if you have to move your computer.

In addition, because the /by-id/ string is real ...

My guess is it's the mkisofs programmer who wants the email.

At this point, I would either execute the mkisofs commands by hand in a konsole, and observe the output, or I would try to establish some control points to find the error. Try burning the boot disc as just a data cd, not a bootable one ...

The Problem
For some reason xorg is blocking the output of all raw evdev events (or, that's what I think is happening) to my keyboard and mouse. When I run evtest on my mouse device, it sees the mouse, displays the button list, but activity does not generate output. I had gentoo in the past, and ...

Hey, I just wanted to let you know that I have had a number of problems with various aspects of several different gentoo boxes I have. In every case I was able to find the solution by searching the forums. So this is just a big thank you to everyone involved in this fabulous resource. Thanks for the ...

I had Gentoo working nicely, other than a few bits. Something similar to an 'rm -fr /' occurred; at least enough to make me decide to do a reinstall. Everything groovy except:

Now if I run startx as root, I get a properly configured screen (albeit that really basic window mgr). If I run any other ...

Try running alsaconf as root. See what happens. It should make it so the necessary modules load, etc, etc.

Also, look around for a volume knob. I had a similar problem on my Toshiba, until I found the volume wheel and turned it up. You may also want to make sure you haven't accidentally selected ...

The problem that you are having is that most apps don't spend time watching the keyboard queue. So if the window isn't active, it doesn't watch and won't know if you pressed a key. I don't know about the global shortcuts for a fact, but I'm pretty sure that you can't have any active windows in order ...

You can always use the Quingy login manager. It actually runs on the framebuffer. Looks quite good. Doesn't require a bunch of upstream dependencies. There's a how-to on the wiki.

You can also find out what is taking up the most space by the following:

1. Open up a terminal
2. Become root
3. cd /
4. du -ch | grep [0-9][0-9]M

This will give you a listing of files/directories that are at least 10 meg or more. You may also want to do:

5: du -ch | grep [0-9]G

Just in case you ...

Also make sure you aren't building packages when you emerge them. This can happen with the '--buildpkg' or '-b' option in an emerge, or the 'buildpkg' flag in the FEATURES section of /etc/make.conf

You can enable the kdehiddenvisibility USE flag and re-emerge kde (kde-meta, whatever). Between that and prelinking, my kde performance really jumped off. Also, you mentioned a lot of programs that aren't kde based. These will take time to start up. I prefer using kde native versions. Especially ...

I would guess that a big part of the problem is that it is having difficulty even reading the partition table. As you said, it displayed an error message along those lines.

No fear though, there is a solution from within the livecd. Just boot from it as you normally do. Then open up a terminal, or ...

If you don't have bash, how are you typing commands?

That aside, you can boot from the install cd, and mount your root partition on /mnt/gentoo. Follow the intallation guide to get you to where you have chrooted into /mnt/gentoo and run env-update && source /etc/profile. Be sure not to reformat the ...

Look in the gentoo docs for creating a bootable usb key (jump drive, thumb drive, etc). You can try that out.

The latest and greatest is now available at http://sourceforge.net/projects/mmm3k. Version 0.51. In order to get around the display permission issues, I split mmm3k up into two parts.

evmon runs as the monitoring daemon. the user space program, mmm3k takes the event info and does what's necessary ...

I do have an idea about why starting as a service causes a crash. When it does this, mmm3k is not able to acces information about the display. Trying to run xdpyinfo and xprop fails catastrophically. The X connection is refused by the server. It's just a mess. So, if anyone has ideas on getting ...

"One loop to ring them all" is available at http://sourceforge.net/projects/mmm3k/ . Get it now. Lot's of bug fixes. Ability to block entire devices. Still problems with starting as a service. Oh, and you only have to start one mmm3k to monitor all of your devices. If you're like me (two joysticks ...
