I'm also running on an apple machine (macbook), so I might be able to |
| 9 |
help. My video card is intel, so my settings won't be exactly the |
| 10 |
same. |

The first point I suggest is to re-emerge all your x11-drivers/xf86 |
| 13 |
files. Sometimes after an xorg update these need to be re-installed |
| 14 |
(although it sounds like you are running on a clean install. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
Your make.conf settings look okay, but I wonder about |
| 17 |
/etc/X11/xorg.conf and hal. Is hal installed and running (to run it |
| 18 |
/etc/init.d/hald start or to add it to default rc-update add hal |
| 19 |
default). hal should take care of the keyboard and mouse without any |
| 20 |
extra configuration (special keys and trackpad scrolling extra |
| 21 |
features aside. check out pommed for hotkey support in apple). |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
I recall that in xorg.conf the driver for my video card device was a |
| 24 |
bit picky over what I told it. For me this was more an intel graphics |
| 25 |
issue compared with xorg changes (it used to be under i810 and then it |
| 26 |
was changed to intel, and so there is some mismatching sometimes in my |
| 27 |
experience). Try a few options for this variable when you startx. |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
Try these things (and shoot along xorg.conf) and let me know how it |
| 30 |
goes. I might not respond right away, but I'll keep an eye out. |
