Fresh install on desktop. Trying to emerge xorg drivers:
| Code: | # emerge xorg-drivers
Calculating dependencies... done!
>>> Verifying ebuild manifests
>>> Running pre-merge checks for x11-drivers/xf86-input-synaptics-1.6.2

>>> Starting parallel fetch
>>> Emerging (1 of 4) x11-libs/libXi-1.6.1

* `tail -f /var/log/emerge-fetch.log` in another terminal.

rpil,
| Code: | Resolving xorg.freedesktop.org... failed: Name or service not known.
wget: unable to resolve host address `xorg.freedesktop.org |
suggests that something has trampled over /etc/resolv.conf or that your dhcp server does not send you nameserver entries.

rpil,
You can temporarily use google's public dns servers 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4

| Well, thanks, guys, I still was chroot when I tried this. I made some corrections in the kernel, I booted in command prompt and now it compiles normally. |
