Hi,

I installed Xorg according to this doc: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/xorg-config.xml:

Code:

# emerge xorg-x11
# env-update
# source /etc/profile

Just after that I tried to generate an xorg.conf file using:

Code:

# Xorg -configure

But I get these errors:

Code:

_XSERVTransSocketOpenCUTSServer: Unable to open socket for inet6
_XSERVTransOpen: transport open failed for inet6/dorkah:0
_XSERVTransMakeAllCOTSServerListeners: failed to open listener for inet6

Any suggestions how to fix it?

Those lines are probably not the problem, please post the rest of your Xorg log

Also, to fix it you can

Code:

$EDITOR `which startx`

Find the serverargs line and add -nolisten inet6 to it
