You can't use eudev in that case. > 2.

IUSE="+systemd" or "openrc-force" with ewarn when set to unsupported state 3. #2 + systemd in package.use.force, can be unforced via profile or manually 4. #2 + openrc-force in package.use.mask, can be unmasked by the user In any case, a user running Gnome without systemd will have to take extra actions that acknowledge that his configuration is unsupported. Question is, which solutions are acceptable to the Gnome team? :) Best regards, Chí-Thanh Christopher Nguyễn
