1 Hi everybody:
2 I'm installing Gentoo on my laptop (Toshiba Satellite A30 ).
3 For XFree86Config i followed the guidelines in Gentoo Desktop
4 configuration guide and www.linux-laptop.net guide for almost the same
5 model. The result: when i type "startx" the X server crashes and
6 outputs:
7
8 ...
9 (EE) I810(0): VBE initialization failed
10 (EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration.
11
12 Fatal server error:
13 no screens found
14
15 I'm sure there is no hardware incompatibility because i can run
16 knoppix 3.2 (which runs 2.4 kernel) and both the XFree and KDE run
17 perfectly. I've also tried to copy the XF86Config from knoppix: the
18 same error.

20 My hardware: VGA: Intel 82852/855GM

22 Thanks in advance.
