When I run 'startx' with ctrl+alt-f2, I get twm right now, no problem. If I then ctrl-alt-f1 back to the emerge I'm running, when I ctrl-alt-f2 a second time, I can see that X has died due to an error with a missing /dev/fb0, i.e. no frame buffer. What should I do to correct this? Charles -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
