I've built gnome and when I tried startx from the command line, I get the following error. Anyone have ideas?
| Code: |

It seems like you have trouble with your xorg.conf.
What does
give?
If you're missing an xorg.conf you should read this and create one.

For the record, you don't need any /etc/X11/xorg.conf if you use Xorg-Server 1.3 and higher.
Can you post :
| Code: |
# cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf
# lspci
|

Wizumwalt,
It looks like you did not make Xorg work before you added gnome. Thats ok, we just need to amke Xorg work alone first.
Please post your /var/log/Xorg.0.log file (all of it).
From your error, Xorg is trying to run in framebuffer mode, thats what /dev/fb0 is, your first framebuffer device.
You probably don't want that. When you post your lspci output, as d2_racing asked, we can advise what drivers you will need.

|

Hi, I have the exact same problem, where I did a clean install, did emerge gnome, and get the same error.
I don't have any xorg.conf file:
| Code: | root@jsowoc-desktop:/mnt/root# ls -l ../etc/X11/
total 36
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1496 2009-04-01 09:23 chooser.sh
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2009-04-02 14:29 Sessions

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 17925 2009-04-01 09:26 xorg.conf.example
|
I *could* post my Xorg.0.log file, but it is rather large. Is there an easy way to attach files to a post?
In it, it detected that it should use the nv driver, and gives a long list of nvidia video cards, but mine (7100) is not on the list:

I can try the instructions for creating an xorg.conf file, and will let you know if it worked in my case. |

you should start your own thread. But it looks like you need to install nvidia proprietary drivers: "emerge -va nvidia-drivers" |

Simply installing the nvidia-driver did not solve the problem. I have an old xorg.conf file lying around that I used with a binary-based distro with this specific monitor, video card, and binary nvidia driver. It worked.
Because my initial error as it appeared on-screen was identical to what the 1st person posted, I added myself to this thread. The output (which was different) was in my x.org log file.
I suspect that Wizumwalt might have luck with emerging the nvidia-drivers (I see the driver being used is "nv"). I'm posting my xorg.conf (which worked for me, YMMV).

I do strongly recommend adjusting the monitor section of this xorg.conf, unless you have a 1280x1024 LCD. |
