Hi, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I'm installing Gentoo on a really old PC (with a Pentium III and a i815 |
| 4 |
graphic card). I've installed a minimal Gentoo system, and I'm trying to |
| 5 |
get Xorg working. |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
I've searched on the Gentoo wiki, and found that I should use an old |
| 8 |
version of mesa (<8.0) to get OpenGL support [1]. So I have masked |
| 9 |
recent versions of mesa and some Xorg packages in order to install the |
| 10 |
last version of mesa that is below 8.0. My package.mask is: |
| 11 |
>media-libs/mesa-7.10.3 |
| 12 |
>=app-eselect/eselect-opengl-1.2.6 |
| 13 |
>x11-proto/glproto-1.4.15 |
| 14 |
>x11-base/xorg-server-1.12.4-r5 |
| 15 |
I have no xorg.conf. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
When I run startx, the screen goes black and the Xorg server segfaults, |
| 18 |
according to the log file [2]. Nothing works after that, including the |
| 19 |
keyboard, so I cannot go back to a linux console. Maybe it is a |
| 20 |
configuration issue, or maybe I'm using a buggy version. Has anyone any |
| 21 |
suggestion on what configuration and versions I should use? |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
Thanks, |
| 24 |
