 |
|
Just now I have installed Gentoo.
The problem is I don't get GUI.
I tried xorconfig and restarted X but I gor the error msg:
" No screens found!
No driver (i810) found"
Since I don't have ant CLI browser (lynx,links), I can't post thro Gentoo.
Interestingly I had the same problem when I tried LFS also.
My other distros Slackware 10.2,Puppy,Zenwalk,Vector Linux,Kubuntu and PCLOS are all working fine.
Shortly I'll be posting the relevant portions of /etc/X11/xorg.conf file
Thanks to the Gentoo community.

I'd try that soon.
Even at the time of installing using the Live CD, i could not get the x window by default.
Only after running xorgconfig I could get X working.
I thought the same configuration would be used as default by Gentoo installer.
Anyhow I'll try it because I am new to Gentoo and I have to learn about emerge first.
Thanks.

I'm having the same issues:
I've done all the above in the link for xorgconfig,
but i still get the error:
| Code: | Fatal server error:
no screens found
XIO: fatal IO error 104 (Connection reset by peer) on X server ":0.0"
after 0 requests (0 known processed) with 0 events remaining. |

Make sure your /etc/make.conf is correct. You should have a line like this:
| Code: | | VIDEO_CARDS="i810 vesa" |
and also add i810 to your use flags in /etc/make.conf
..your use flags section should probably contain some more usefull flags as well, but that will depend on your system and what you requirements are. See
Once you have the correct use flags in place you can do a
| Code: | | emerge -uDNav world |
to update your system with the new ebuilds (using the new useflags), if you already have xorg installed you should now have the i810 kernelk module installed. Please also see http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/xorg-config.xml

PS
with the
| Code: | | VIDEO_CARDS="i810 vesa" |
flags and after the emerge, you can use the vesa driver to lauch X if you get stuck. Just edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and change the Driver entry under the "Device" section. Something like...
| Code: | Section "Device"
Identifier "Videocard0"
Driver "vesa"
