12 Well, your /etc/X11/xorg.conf looks fine, but the log shows that the glx module
13 was not loaded. Did you reboot after the emerge?
14
15 I suggest trying the following logged in as root -
16
17 mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.2D
18 cd $home
19 /etc/init.d/xdm stop
20 From the console -
21 X -confgure
22 vi/nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf
23 - Change - /dev/mouse to /dev/misc/psaux (or whatever your favorite is)
24 - Comment out "load dri"
25 Then do (X will tell you what the proper command line is at the end of configure) -
26 X -file /root/xorg.conf.new
27 If X comes up, exit out,
28 cp /root/xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg/conf
29 /etc/init.d/xdm start
30 You may need to change or add a mode line to get the resolution you want
31 and add a - "DefaultDepth 24" to - "Section "Screen""
32 But it should load glx with no problem.
