You maean after: |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
mount file systems |
| 13 |
chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash |
| 14 |
env-update |
| 15 |
<then> rc-update del xdm |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
This worked... |
| 18 |

Now to fix the xorg.conf file..... |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
I cannot seem to use any of the tools |
| 22 |
listed here: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/list.xml |
| 23 |
( Xorg -configure xorgconfig etc) |
| 24 |
to generate a working file. So I booted up the |
| 25 |
livecd and copied that xorg.conf file to another |
| 26 |
system later on for use. it works, but the screen |
| 27 |
resolution is 1024x768. The system, an HP DV9000Z |
| 28 |
laptop (GD545AV) is suppose to have a 17 screen with |
| 29 |
1680x1050 resolution. Every time I try this resolution |
| 30 |
the system hangs, hard and has to be power cycled to recover. |
| 31 |
I also cannot find the hortz&&vert ranges. From the install I have: |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
HorizSync 28.0 - 96.0 |
| 34 |
VertRefresh 50.0 - 75.0 |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
Another source of the problem could be all of those |
| 37 |
fonts, in the xorg.conf file that I may not have installed. |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
Another potential source failure in getting xorg.conf |
| 40 |
stable is dri and glx. |
| 41 |
Different gentoo web pages tell me different things on using |
| 42 |
these with the nvidia driver. They all still talk about |
| 43 |
agp device drivers in the kernel. |
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
Also, there use to be a guide one could follow to get xorg.conf |
| 46 |
working by testing it as a user logged in on console. every time |
| 47 |
I try that, the entire system hoses up... It's been a while since |
| 48 |
I had to use the minimal CD (2004.3) so I'm rusty and the docs |
| 49 |
have changed/disappeared. It should be easy, but, I'm having |
| 50 |
a helluva a time getting x/kde stable. |
| 51 |
|
| 52 |
Any ideas or wikis I can follow? |
