Inappropiate ioctl looks like some version mismatch between kernel
interface and ... what?


Notice that the error message appeared between loading evdev and unloading
evdev, so I read that as meaning you need to recompile evdev.

I'm not entirely clear yet about how 1.8 handles input devices, but I think
it uses evdev automatically even if you don't have it in your xorg.conf.

That was also my first thought, but evdev was recompiled -- as I wrote
in my initial mail...

What next?

Do you have an InputClass section in your xorg.conf? This is needed for
xorg to use udev to detect input devices.

yes:


Section InputClass

Driver evdev
Option XkbLayout de
Option XkbVariant ,qwertz
Option XkbOptions 
grp:alt_shift_toggle,grp:switch,compose:rwin,terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp

I have no InputClass section at all, but I don't need all the options you
use.  Might be worth commenting the whole section out just as a test.

I built xorg-server with the hal useflag disabled, and udev flag enabled.

Sorry guys for not understanding this anymore.
First question after posting my problem was:
Did you read the guides???

Now I included exactly what the guides say and
compiled as the ebuild has configured it (hal off,
udev on) and now I am told to remove the stuff again...

I am going back to xorg-server 1.7.6 and wait until
this becomes more consistent.
