Would you recommend sticking with i686 compile options for a production-level server? What are the benefits of compiling with 64-bit support? Is the speed difference (if any) worth the potential loss of stability? From what I've heard, Intel's x86_64 CPUs really are just x86 with added 64-bit emulation on the chip. 64-bit code therefore runs slower, etc... Might want to confirm it from someone who actually has one, though. -- Luke-Jr Developer, Utopios http://utopios.org/ -- gentoo-amd64@gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-amd64] nvidia question (new user)
Still no file. I must be doing something wrong. My system is configured for graphical login. So when the login prompt comes up, I choose a terminal session login. That closes the graphical login and leaves me at a command prompt login. I login as root and execute: /usr/bin/X11/Xorg -configure. The screen goes blank for a second, and then comes back, no indication of an error. A few seconds later the graphical login is back. I log in, but no xorg.conf to edit. Am I going about this wrong?
