 Posted: Mon May 24, 2004 1:51 pm Post subject: Newbie guide to Gnome |
 |
|
This is my first ever experience with linux so please be gentle, ive finally managed to get gentoo to boot using the LiveCD and now im looking to setup gnome, i dont have a net connection available so im going to have to use the packages CD which i have already downloaded.
I have already emerged gnome and x11 with the gnome and gtk USE flags but i dont really know where to go from here. My friend suggested startx gnome to run gnome but it gets an error "no displays found" and exits. Does anyone know of a guide to setting up and running gnome on gentoo. I have done a google but i dont really understand much of what im reading and it seems to be of little help or not relevant. |

Sounds like you need to configure your x11 then. If you're using xfree, then
But note that the output from this config tool is quite generic and will most likely require some tweaking on your part, which is sadly dependent on your hardware and hard to give good advice for.
To test if X works, run
