[gentoo-user] xorg on laptop
Recently i tried to install gentoo on a aspire 1300 laptop with a savage graphics card. Everthing worked fine till i started to configute the X server. For some reason which i don't understand, when starting X only about 1/4 of the screen are grey - the rest of the screen stays blank and you can't move the mousepointer outside of the grey box. But somehow it must work, because when i boot up with the live-cd-2005.0 and then chroot into my installation environment, i can configure and start X without problems. Here is a short description of the things i allready tried: At first, after realizing that it works with the gentoo-boot cd, i thought, that maybe somehow the framebuffer makes the differnece. So i configured the system to use a simple framebuffer console without a splashimage with the help of http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Framebuffer:Bootsplash:Grubsplash#2.6.8_and_newer_kernels . Allthough that was easier than i thought, the problems with X remain. I tried removing agp-gart support from the kernel [which is linux-2.6.11.10 ] and played around with different monitor and device optins in my xorg config file. Maybe someone has an idea what to do... Thanks, Antonio -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
