Here is my make.conf:

Code:
INPUT_DEVICES="evdev synaptics"
VIDEO_CARDS="intel vesa fbdev"


Here is my log file:

It actually started for a brief moment with "startx" and I got a somewhat garbled screen and then it crashed.

Quote:
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "keyboard-all"
Option "XkbOptions" "terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp"
MatchIsKeyboard "on"
EndSection
Then:
Code:
X -retro
This should produce a black and white stipple screen with a movable mouse cursor. This will establish that X works. Exit X with ctrl-alt-backspace.
