No , it a laptop . Can do anything about that. I guess i ll try to install amd64 again. Worked before so it should work again.... Cant understand what is going wrong. The video card ( hardware wise ) works fine. The laptop has Vista on dual boot ( Shame on me

) and the graphics are ok. Should ( or must ) be a software related issue.. I just do not know where else to search

@notHerbert

Yeah, everything is in there

@d2_racing

Doesnt look like a bug. And if it is , its a bug related to what? If it was a common situation with 32bit+intel graphics+Xorg im sure that a bug would have been opened already since this is a pretty common laptop configuration

No?

Maybe, downloading the wrong stages or mixing the CFLAG had a major break inside your Gentoo installation.

Just format your partition and retry :cry:

I ll try a new installation for sure. But i think I will try amd64. I had enough of x86

Problem appears to be solved. Just got a .config file from a friend ( he is running sabayon ). Startx works fine. I guess I need to compare both .config files to see what the $*# was wrong

I ll let you know

So you are still using the x86 tarball ?

Post the diff

I want to see what happen.

Well here it is

http://hydra.silverarrow.gr/gentoo/config.diff but I still cant find what is the critical difference between the two config files and made my system hungs.

And yes, am still using x86 ( with the new kernel ) and everything is fine
