 |
|
I just installed my gentoo system from stage 3. I am trying to install x windows but whenever I type Xorg, Xorg -configure or xstart the only result is some cryptic error messages.
The video card is an SiS, possibly an SiS300.
uname -a

I don't know why it's saying that the timezone is not set up. The link is there.
Xorg -configure

I had previously installed xorg and gotten the same results. I thought that it might have something to do with the fact that I installed enlightenment first (doh!) which for some reason does not depend on xorg. I unmerged both packages, did an emerge --cleandep, emerged xorg again and got the same problem.
The first time I installed xorg I tried running xorgconfig and it created the following xorg.conf file:
| Code: |

Because there was some IPv6 error at the start of the log some network details might be worth explaining. My ethernet card is an SiS900. The local router filters all traffic coming from unknown MAC addresses so on startup I run a custom script which brings down eth0, changes the hw address, and then brings eth0 back up. Networking works and is able to download the necessary files for emerge.
ifconfig
| Code: |
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:E0:06:09:55:66
inet addr:192.168.11.65 Bcast:192.168.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
