Fatal server error: no screens found [/code] I am trying to find a tutorial to fix this and get X11 working. Any input will be gratefully appreciated. Thank you! ps: After posting this to gentoo desktop forum, I found some related information in this list. But still got a little confused about which I should use for VIDEO_CARD and USE. Am I supposed to recompile the kernel as wiki says? It is also possible something else is wrong, since the first error I have in the log file is about inet6. Sorry for the long mail and thanks in advance!
