Hello guys.
Straight to the point, I tried to boot the Gentoo Linux Live DVD today. The boot hangs just at the point where Xserver starts and I am not getting a working desktop, all I get is a black screen. I then ALT + F2'ed to get a working terminal and I get a "No Screens found" error when I run "startx".
Where should I start to fix this, the Xorg.conf in the live DVD is empty. Also the Live DVD works properly in VMvare. _________________ Support linux on hacked PS3 |

What kind of graphic card do you have?
i am not sure, but you can probably try to run X -config (or how the parametr is. I am not on linux machine now, so i cannot check it). |

I can see that the Graphic card is detected fine in verbose mode.
lemme try to run X -config and get back to ya.
Thanks. _________________ Support linux on hacked PS3 |

the command should be Xorg -configure _________________ First things first, but not necessarily in that order.
Apologies if I take a while to respond. I'm currently working on the dematerialization circuit for my blue box. |
