Try the latest version of x11-drm
But you have to unsmask it first

svt23,

You may use the kernel DRM or the x11-drm but not both at the same time. Having two drivers installed for the same hardware at the same time is a VeryBadThing. Its harmless to your hardware but neither will work.

The current testing version of DRM is x11-base/x11-drm-20070314 - notice the date. The one you are trying to install is very old, its likely to be older than the DRM in the kernel.

Try kernel DRM first, move onto the testing x11-drm if that doesn't work. The help on Direct Rendering Manager (XFree86 4.1.0 and higher DRI support) says

ok guys!! question.. I rebooted my computer and I get an error with eth0 again. this time it might be different I already check everything that you guys suggested previously.

*network interface eth0 does not exist
*please verify hardware or kernel module (driver)
*error: cannot start netmount as net.eth0 could not start

so I have to find this on genkernel and add it?

Most probably This time somethings wrong with the network card driver you might have accidently removed the driver
Check again the configuration that you have the driver installed.

in which configuration?

shaumux · Posted: Wed Jul 11, 2007 11:57 pm Post subject:

In the kernel configuration
Device Drivers -->
Network device support --->
[] Network device support (Enable this to see things below)
Ethernet (10 or 100Mbit) --->
[*] Ethernet (10 or 100Mbit) (Enable this to see things below)

Now choose the correct driver

Screen resolution but it doesn't give me any options. why? is that? my resolution is currently set to 320x200, but during my configuration I set it to 1024x726. did I missed a step?

I don't mean to be a wet blanket and I can definitely appreciate the fact that you are a new gentoo user, svt23, but a lot of the questions you are asking have been answered hundreds of times on the forums and the gentoo wiki, and can easily be found again by searching those sources or using google. It just seems like you are coming here to this thread as your first troubleshooting stage every step of the way instead of trying to find answers yourself, which is one of the best ways to become proficient with Gentoo.

If you want to get the most out of your Gentoo experience and learn quickly, I would suggest you try to solve some of these issues yourself, and do some research, before repeating your question here

Also, as a note to your most recent question, standard resolution is 1024x768, not 1024x726. Maybe this has something to do with your problem.

Just spent the batter part of the day solving this issue, and getting a " VGA compatible controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. UniChrome Pro IGP" to work with the via drivers. This in not the best solution, but it works.
