**This is what my laptop's screen with a newly installed Gentoo system |
| 2 |
running twm to test X looks like (attached image). It's distorted with |
| 3 |
overlapping and mirrored image. I have a Dell Latitude C800 with the video |
| 4 |
card. |

Yes, I have compiled the r128 driver directly into the kernel. Various |
| 14 |
people around the internet had posted xorg.conf that was supposed "ati" as |
| 15 |
the driver. I do not have that driver. I substituted in the same xorg.conf |
| 16 |
with r128, and I still had the same issue. I tried with no xorg.conf (the |
| 17 |
default), and I couldn't startx, errored and crashed. I had also tried X |
| 18 |
-configure and had the same distorted screen. I know it is possible to get |
| 19 |
this working just fine. I had it working just fine in Arch Linux with r128. |
| 20 |
I really don't want to go back to using Arch. I already used fdisk on it to |
| 21 |
install this new Gentoo system. |
