The monitor on light starts bliking, indicating it is getting no signal, ctrl-alt-backspace and ctrl-alt-delete don't work, and only a hard reset on the box itself gets anything going. My make.conf specifies VIDEO_CARDS=radeon, even though the automatically generated /root/xorg.conf.new specifies Driver ati in the Device section. Could this be a problem? The hardware is a. ATI Radeon all-in-wonder card. I tried replacing ati by fbdev just to get something working, but it just told me it couldn't find fbdev. Presumably this driver was not installed. Is the proper way to install this add in fbdev to the make.conf file: VIDEO_CARDS=radeon fbdev or even VIDEO_CARDS=radeon ati fbdev and then re-emerge xorg-server? Well, that worked. X -config /root/xorg.conf.new gives me the usual grey tweed pattern and an X cursor. Both the ati and radeon drivers work, but fbdev doesn't -- not that I need it any more, of course. Or is there a more straightforward way? I still haven't found a way to browse the list of available packages the way I used to do in Debian using aptitude or packages.debian.org. -- hendrik -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Well, before the incident, http://packages.gentoo.org/ was online. Now we have to wait. In the meantime, emerge gentoolkit and emerge eix .Eix is a great tool. As for Portage (X-based) GUIs, I don't use them, but AFAIK the most mature of them is Kuroo. I don't know of text-based interfaces, I remember me and some guy on the ML planned to write one but never did. m. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
