Thanks, Alex. I had to run 'installer' from commandline. Went with the |
| 2 |
recommended setup; got an Exception that the dialog says "this is a Bad |
| 3 |
Thing" ... I've done it twice, gotten to this point, and whether I choose |
| 4 |
'yes' or 'no' to the prompt at this point, the system hangs, with no choice |
| 5 |
but to start over. So, the stage 3 installer for 64 bit looks hosed. I'm |
| 6 |
afraid its back to the Minimal CD and building the system again from |
| 7 |
scratch. I really hope the developer's can get this resolved... I was |
| 8 |
perfectly happy with stage1 and building from scratch back in the beginning. |

This 'helping to get a system up faster' just isn't working when it comes to |
| 10 |
gentoo... |

That means it was not able to find the GLcore module. Try locating it |
| 28 |
with |
| 29 |
$ locate libGLcore.so |
| 30 |
on my system its in /usr/lib. You could den update the modules path in |
| 31 |
xorg.conf or symlink (but the latter is no good idea) |
| 32 |
Unfortunately I have no idea which package it belongs to. (Xorg itself?) |

It just can't find a lot of fonts. Don't worry, they can be added later. |
| 43 |
A recent version of x.org should really behave well despite this. The |
| 44 |
"No Screens found" is the usual output xorg gives when it encounters one |
| 45 |
or more errors during start up. |

You could just try commenting the line 'Load "GLcore"' in xorg.conf. |
| 53 |
That's just if you don't need GL-support for things like beryl. |
