 |

gives me..
| Code: | (EE) cannot found module: i915
dev/fb0 not found |
Might have some typos as that is out from my memory..
I probably don't have a famebuffer, so how to remove the search of it?
And how to get module i915?

KrossFIN,
The intel Xorg driver needs agpgart and DRM support in the kernel. i915 is the kernel module.
You get the /dev/fb0 error as Xorg is working its way through the drivers you have built for it and its saying that none of them work.
If you want a framebuffer, that a kernel option too. Choose vesafb or uvesafb. The latter is preferred but harder to make work.

Yes it worked, added some stuff to kernel and built it.
Then tried startx.
gives me
| Code: | FATAL: Module fbcon not found
/root/.xinitrc: line 1: exec: startxfce4: not found |
Didn't find it in kernel settings.
Did | Code: | | emerge -DuvaN world |
And rebooted.

KrossFIN,
You have put the command startxfce4 in your file /root/.xinitrc
As xorg got that far, it implies that Xorg started and was looking for a window manager, which it tried to start with startxfce4.
Is xfce4 installed ?
Is that how you start it?
I'm a gnome user

I thought it was installed..but then when I did this.
| Code: | | emerge --search xfce4-meta |
It showed only a few packages installed and 83 not installed.
But then I decided to reinstall the whole gentoo because I had a wrong partitioning scheme.
So I guess the xfce4-meta emerging would've fixed it.
