I’ve discussed hal and dbus and how to get xorg going with them before. Today’s problem: the desktop machine needed [INPUT_DEVICES=”evdev”] in make.conf, and after adding it, you have to recompile xorg-server. Until I did that, I had the straightjacket joy of no-keyboard-mouse-response. The devil is always in the details.
What a crock of poo. So you have to mask all this:

And in the “good news” column, the xbmc package is now working on 64-bit AMD! Whee! Yay gentoo!
