Relevant lines from Xorg.log:

equery gives:
Quote:
/usr/portage/x11-drivers/xf86-input-evdev/xf86-input-evdev-2.6.0.ebuild

/usr/portage/x11-base/xorg-server/xorg-server-1.10.4.ebuild


So why is evdev compiled for 1.9.5 instead of 1.10.4 ? I did run revdep-rebuild.

Xorg does an internal check that the OS doesn't (dynamic linker). They probably did this because they tend to do minute API changes that aren't ELF linkable (like saying passing a 2 means delete this window, and 1 means to create; and then the next version they swapped the meaning of the two arguments). This can't be detected by the OS (which is what revdep-rebuild does), so Xorg put some internal checks, made each binary have their own version to keep versions straight.

So the solution is to just re-emerge the package even though it looks like it will do nothing (but it will!). That should solve the problem.

I re-emerged xorg-server and all the x86-input- packages a second time. That did work! Thank you!
