Hi, ALL,
Here is the big question:
| Code: |
IgorReinCloud igor # emerge -pv xorg-drivers
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild U ] x11-base/xorg-drivers-1.10 [1.9] INPUT_DEVICES="evdev keyboard mouse -acecad -aiptek -joystick -synaptics -tslib -virtualbox -vmmouse -void -wacom (-elographics%) (-fpit%) (-penmount%)" VIDEO_CARDS="fglrx* -apm -ark -ast -chips -cirrus -dummy -epson -fbdev (-geode) -glint -i128 (-i740) (-impact) -intel -mach64 -mga -neomagic (-newport) -nouveau -nv -nvidia (-omapfb) -qxl% -r128 -radeon* -rendition -s3 -s3virge -savage -siliconmotion -sis -sisusb (-sunbw2) (-suncg14) (-suncg3) (-suncg6) (-sunffb) (-sunleo) (-suntcx) -tdfx -tga -trident -tseng -v4l -vesa -via -virtualbox -vmware (-voodoo)" 0 kB
Total: 1 package (1 upgrade), Size of downloads: 0 kB
!!! The following installed packages are masked:
- app-emulation/virtualbox-additions-4.1.2::gentoo (masked by: PUEL license(s))
A copy of the 'PUEL' license is located at '/usr/portage/licenses/PUEL'.
- app-emulation/virtualbox-extpack-oracle-4.1.2::gentoo (masked by: PUEL license(s))
For more information, see the MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge
man page or refer to the Gentoo Handbook.
* IMPORTANT: 1 news items need reading for repository 'gentoo'.

How come xorg-drivers does not see synaptics? Or I should explicitly set the USE-flag?
And what is happening with the licensing? I enabled PUEL license but still getting the error...
Thank you. |

Yes, you need to set synaptics in your INPUT_DEVICES variable in your make.conf. This is the only way the xorg-drivers (or any other ebuild that might need that var) knows what packages to pull. By not setting synaptics in INPUT_DEVICES, it's like changing your USE flags to tell xorg-drivers to not include that package... well not like, it is.

It looks like you are setting your ACCEPT_LICENSE var twice. The second time overwrites the original setting to ACCEPT_LICENSE="PUEL". You can do one of two things here:
Option 1:
| Code: | | ACCEPT_LICENSE="PUEL Oracle-BCLA-JavaSE" |
Option 2:
| Code: | ACCEPT_LICENSE="PUEL"
ACCEPT_LICENSE="${ACCEPT_LICENSE} Oracle-BCLA-JavaSE" |

mikegpitt,
Yikes, I just saw that I used INPUT_DEVICE and not INPUT_DEVICES. 
So I am going to change it and see.
And thank you for the ACCEPT_LICENSE fix. |

Quick tip:
Update the INPUT_DEVICES section... but IIRC a system update won't pick it up. The specific packages need to be emerged manually. Not such a big deal in this case where there is only one package that needs updating, but if there are multiple packages and you don't know what they are...
The easiest way to update the system is to temporarily add the USE flag for the driver to the USE section (in this case input_devices_synaptics) and then run emerge --newuse world.
Cheers |

If you run `emerge -DuN world` it will pick up changes to the INPUT_DEVICES section, just as it would any other USE flag. |
