Now I love Gentoo as a distribution, but the way to setup X *must* be |
| 2 |
improved! I have just finished installing on an older Athlon with a Nvidia |
| 3 |
2mx graphic card. |

Xorg -configure just fails: it says it can't detect my mouse (it's an IBM ps/2 |
| 6 |
trackpoint). |
| 7 |
xorgconfig gives an unusable config. |

In the end, the solution was to use xorgconfig, then boot a knoppix CD, copy |
| 10 |
the xorg.conf to the gentoo installation. Now it works. |

I wonder that such a superb distribution has no sensible way to setup X in a |
| 13 |
time when most others "just work". I think there is an urgent need for |
| 14 |
development in this area. |
