The only way to make x11 work properly was to unmerge evdev at all and use old way approach. I believe you have to continue to use the old way for specifying special options. One thing that has been an issue recently is Xorg by default marking AllowEmptyInput as true, which leaves this gem in the Xorg log: (WW) AllowEmptyInput is on, devices using drivers 'kbd' or 'mouse' will be disabled. (WW) Disabling Mouse0 (WW) Disabling Keyboard0 If you do not have evdev and this is enabled, your mouse and keyboard are disabled. Adding the following to the ServerLayout section should fix this: Option AllowEmptyInput false To the OP, glad your Xorg is working now. In the future I suggest you look for and post relevant sections of your Xorg log file, as that is most likely where the issue will be viewable.

he copied the config from his old kernel, it is not using the default options and thus *should* work just fine. Yeah, I missed that line. You're right. But he didn't installed the new kernel, and alsa-driver, ndiswrapper, nvidia drivers and a lot of other stuff claim a new compile after a kernel upgrade, I doubt it would be as clean as the OP stated. But yeah, it may happen. alsa could easily be built into the kernel, I know when I install a new kernel it is as easy as running make and make install, and re-emerging the nvidia-kernel if I'm using it. AFAIK this person didn't say anything about alsa, nvidia, ndiswrapper, etc. etc. A kernel compile compile and install is precisely as easy as the OP stated. make make install (make modules_install) is all it takes, if you're pointing at /boot/vmlinuz. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

It should install as on any other machine. Install an i586 or i686 build I would think. I'm not sure if you can use a 64 bit guest OS in a 32 bit vmware install, that would be worth looking into or at least testing. Do you think running gentoo as a main desktop as I have been when it owned the machine, doing all mail and most web related stuff like keeping a site up or just browsing, running most backup related stuff with rsync etc etc will work out in a vmware setting? Yes, I think that would work out quite well, even if vmware-tools won't work for you (the only reason I thought to install it was because of a clock sync issue). Considering some rsyncing can be pretty labor intensive or compiling something like a kernel or emacs will this just bog down other work the athlon may be doing?

Well it looks like either Linux or Gentoo's live cd don't support the 3gb/sec SATA yet. It does load the sata_nv driver, but it doesn't seem to do anything with it since it's an older version.
