ThX, Mateusz M Make sure you set the right keyboard model - it's set from the Keyboard Layout config. If you use evdev for your keyboard driver, set the model to Evdev-managed keyboard; otherwise, use on of the Generic models. If this started happening recently, my guess is that you've upgraded xf86-input-evdev and the new version is automatically detecting your keyboard and mouse and assigning them to the evdev driver. In case you don't want automatic input detection, add Section ServerFlags Option AutoAddDevices off EndSection to your xorg.conf. -- Dimitar Toshev -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] Sudo config
HI, I have been using ubuntu for a while and have come to like sudo. Now I am moving over to gentoo and would like to set this up as for me it is far more convenient to just type sudo rather than the su business. However when I emerge sudo, install and run it the following comes up with: We trust you have received the usual lecture from the local System Administrator. It usually boils down to these three things: #1) Respect the privacy of others. #2) Think before you type. #3) With great power comes great responsibility. Password: Which is all very good but I don't really want to see it every time, I have searched on how to remove it but have found nothing, I did download sudo tar and do a grep and found it in one of the c files but as I am not a programmer I don't know if I can simply remove this or not. How can I, when I sudo,: 1.get rid of all the text 2.change the password line to something, dare I say it, like ubuntu, e.g. [sudo] password for paul, I assume paul is just a $USER Cheers paul

You can see the parameter types in their description using modinfo. For example, /sbin/modinfo e1000e shows most parameters with type array of int. These will probably work in a similar way. However the copybreak parameter has type uint, so that can only be set to a single value globally. You may also find it useful to check existing parameter values by looking at /sys/module/module/parameters/parameter files.
