1 down, 1 to go. Apparently, I needed to rebuild the kernel after |
| 2 |
redoing the timezone initialization. I did... |
| 3 |
|
| 4 |
[i3][root][~] rm -rf /etc/timezone /etc/localtime |
| 5 |
[i3][root][~] echo "Canada/Eastern" > /etc/timezone |
| 6 |
[i3][root][~] emerge --config sys-libs/timezone-data |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
...and rebuilt the kernel, attempting to fix the video. Now I get... |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
[i3][root][~] uname -a |
| 11 |
Linux i3 4.4.6-gentoo #5 SMP Sat Sep 10 00:48:23 UTC 2016 x86_64 Intel(R) Pentium(R) CPU N3700 @ 1.60GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux |

I don't get those options. Here's what I see (kernel 4.4.6-gentoo). |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
Device Drivers ---> |
| 38 |
Graphics support ---> |
| 39 |
<*> Direct Rendering Manager (XFree86 4.1.0 and higher DRI support) ---> |
| 40 |
--- Direct Rendering Manager (XFree86 4.1.0 and higher DRI support) |
| 41 |
[*] Enable legacy fbdev support for your modesetting driver |
| 42 |
...and also... |
| 43 |
<*> Intel 8xx/9xx/G3x/G4x/HD Graphics |
| 44 |
<*> DRM Support for bochs dispi vga interface (qemu stdvga) |
| 45 |

Something has changed. I did some minor tweaking, and rebuilt, which |
| 47 |
solved the timezonDo I need another magic setting somewhere else |
| 48 |
to enable the options it asks for? I'm attaching the Xorg log (gzipped) |
| 49 |
in case it helps. |
