3 I have installed xorg-server on a mac G5 (ppc64, 32 bit userland). I
4 configured the kernel for xorg according to the gentoo xorg howto.
5 However, the server will not start:

7 (==) Log file: "/var/log/Xorg.0.log", Time: Thu Jan 26 08:57:27 2012
8 (==) Using system config directory "/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d"

16 xorg -dmx -doc -kdrive -minimal -static-libs -tslib -xnest -xvfb" 0 kB

26 I appreciate any help offered.
