I think I have made a mess of my installation, but I think its recoverable. |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I installed Gentoo AMD64 from the minimal install disk. Next I installed |
| 4 |
X, gdm and gnome. All went well with the exception of the MS core fonts |
| 5 |
which threw a checksum error when the trying to install andale.exe. I |
| 6 |
restarted with emerge --resume --skipfirst and all seemed OK - please |
| 7 |
correct me if I am wrong here! |
| 8 |
|

First problem - X wouldn't start. After reading around I noted that I |
| 10 |
should have included |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
INPUT_DEVICES="keyboard mouse" |
| 13 |
VIDEO_CARDS="nv nvidia" |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
I re-emerged X but no joy - eventually I manually emerged the xf86 |
| 16 |
keyboard and mouse drivers and I managed to get into Gnome using the nv |
| 17 |
driver. Nvidia complains about the kernel being tainted and removing |
| 18 |
riva drivers from the Kernel - which were not compiled in anyway so I am |
| 19 |
not sure what is wrong there. |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
Gnome appears to have 90% of its icons missing - the terminal icon is |
| 22 |
there but any other icon in the menu is missing and most of the icons on |
| 23 |
the panel are missing. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
So - Several questions: |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
1. How do I fix the icon problem? |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
2. What is wrong with Nvidia - I followed the NVidia guide and |
| 30 |
reinstalled nvidia after recompiling the kernel. |
