A couple of things... |
| 42 |
Go back into your kernel config and make sure the only framebuffer |
| 43 |
you've selected, module or otherwise, is vesa. No nvidia framebuffers at |
| 44 |
all. |
| 45 |
Make sure you're building agpgart (if you've included it...I never do.) |
| 46 |
as a module, not built in. |
| 47 |
Make sure you've got "truetype type1" in your use flags. |
| 48 |
Go ahead and try: emerge -uDN world && revdep-rebuild |
| 49 |
If you're still getting that checksum error...find the offending file in |
| 50 |
/usr/portage/distfiles/ and delete it and start over with the emerge. |
