this card or have any experience with tuxonice kernels, but have you had a scroll through the many posts in this M/L and the gentoo forums about the new xorg package? If you do not have a proper working xorg.conf with an older kernel, you should be better off trying hal+evdev and configuring some .fdi files if you have to. Add USE="hal" in xorg before you emerge it and also set INPUT_DEVICES="evdev" in your /etc/make.conf. If you're lucky it may just work straight out of the box. -- Regards, Mick signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

If the icon image is displaying lines when rendered, I suspect the image is distorting due to incorrect width and height settings in the conversion code, or the icon image has not been created with the correct height and width for the default settings of an icon file (ie: 16x16 px or 32x32 px). -- Regards, Mick signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.
