first thing thing is your usage of ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64 ~amd64". with ~amd64 you globally |
30 |
allow all packages masked for amd64. unless you are a developer/tester for gentoo you should remove |
31 |
this keyword, because gentoo usually has good reasons to mask some packages. if for some reason you |
32 |
really need a masked package, you can do this easily only for that package. |
33 |
global unmasking alone might be the reason for half of your troubles. |
34 |
|
35 |
second, it is advisable to use kernel modesetting, which is obviously not enabled. gentoo has a detailed |
36 |
howto for this under http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/xorg-config.xml. this gives you all necessary details. |
37 |
|
38 |
just a quick shot for the moment. your kernel config doesn't under the link you give, I'd like to see that |
39 |
too, and maybe /etc/X11/xorg.conf or the contents of /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d, if you have any of these, |
