Thanks for your help. I am using xf86-video-ati-6.14.0 and it now seems to be working. Failure was due to a typo in .xinitrc (twn instead of twm). I still have resolutions limited to 1024 x768 and yes I have monitors capable of higher resulitions ) and I have keyboard errors. For instance for keyboard tweaking I tried to put stuff in /etc/X11/xog.conf.d using this guide ( http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/xorg-config.xml ) for example #--- /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/30-keyboard.conf Section "InputClass" Identifier "keyboard-all" Driver "evdev" Option "XkbLayout" "gb" Option "XkbModel" "pc105" Option "XkbRules" "evdev" Option "XkbOptions" "grp:alt_shift_toggle,grp:switch,grp_led:scroll,compose:rwin,terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp" Option "XkbVariant" ",qwerty" MatchIsKeyboard "on" EndSection but it is not digested when I run X.
