Now to fix the xorg.conf file..... I cannot seem to use any of the tools listed here: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/list.xml ( Xorg -configure xorgconfig etc) to generate a working file. So I booted up the livecd and copied that xorg.conf file to another system later on for use. it works, but the screen resolution is 1024x768. The system, an HP DV9000Z laptop (GD545AV) is suppose to have a 17 screen with 1680x1050 resolution. Every time I try this resolution the system hangs, hard and has to be power cycled to recover. I also cannot find the hortz&&vert ranges. From the install I have: HorizSync 28.0 - 96.0 VertRefresh 50.0 - 75.0 Another source of the problem could be all of those fonts, in the xorg.conf file that I may not have installed. Another potential source failure in getting xorg.conf stable is dri and glx. Different gentoo web pages tell me different things on using these with the nvidia driver. They all still talk about agp device drivers in the kernel. Also, there use to be a guide one could follow to get xorg.conf working by testing it as a user logged in on console. every time I try that, the entire system hoses up... It's been a while since I had to use the minimal CD (2004.3) so I'm rusty and the docs have changed/disappeared. It should be easy, but, I'm having a helluva a time getting x/kde stable. Any ideas or wikis I can follow? James -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
