I'm trying to do a new install on an amd64 box and there are a lot of
problems somewhere between X, Gnome, and the Graphics card. I'm using
genkernel so there shouldn't be too much of a problem there.
The graphics card as identified by the system is: nVidia Corporation
NV36 [GeForce FX 5700LE]
The base system and xorg-x11 seems to be set up alright. However, when
I run startx as a regular user I get errors about drm, dri, and dri2
modules and the screen. I've tried with both nvidia and xorg-x11
selected for opengl and have tried with both VIDEO_CARDS=nouveau and
VIDEO_CARDS=nivida in /etc/make.conf.
# eselect opengl list
Available OpenGL implementations:
[1] nvidia *
[2] xorg-x11
I would expect the trival windows manager to work with startx as soon as
xorg-x11 was installed, but it doesn't.
Emergeing gnome doesn't work. I had to remove GTK from the USE in
make.conf; pygtlsourceview and I think some other things pulled in
didn't like it.
The first package in emerge gnome that gives me problems is the
app-text/gnome-doc-utils-0.20.1 package. When emerged by itself I get
the following output.
# emerge -pv app-text/gnome-doc-utils
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
