Regards -- Regards, Mick Well, Thank you for your answer Mick, but after numerous test also many times I've tried, could't make this happen, because quick media is without the HD (or at least I think) because I don't need to get to windows, is a OS very light to use, email, navigation, skype and some others things. Also, I have to delete RECOVERY partition, because it did not work (I tried with extended partition, same results) Now, I'm running Gentoo + Windows 7 (Dual Boot) a little problems, but for now, I can work in both systems very well.

Correct, so it should be completely independent of Windows or Gentoo or whichever OS you have installed on your hard drive. Also, I have to delete RECOVERY partition, because it did not work (I tried with extended partition, same results) Those partitions are pretty useless anyway :) Now, I'm running Gentoo + Windows 7 (Dual Boot) a little problems, but for now, I can work in both systems very well. Awesome! Glad to hear you have Gentoo working! Just out of curiosity, what types of problems are you still having? Regards -- Carlos Sura.- www.carlossura.com - Matt -- Matthew Finkel

Regards -- Carlos Sura.- www.carlossura.com - Matt -- Matthew Finkel Well, My laptop has 2 video cards INTEL (integrated video card) That's the only one that works. And Ati Mobility Radeon Premium Graphics: lspci: 00:1e.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801 Mobile PCI Bridge (rev a5) 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Manhattan [Mobility Radeon HD 5400 Series] I tried with switchero but it just only work with INTEL not for ATI, also I've tried to use just ATI (ati-drivers) package, but when I try to: X -configure it says something like: Screen found, but driver: fxglrs (not found) I tried following all gentoo wiki about ATI, but it just simply don't work. I don't care to use both video cards, but I would like to use ATI insted INTEL. If there any way or someone who knows how to solve this, it would be great for me!

This can be changed within /etc/X11/xorg.conf. The ATI driver should be called fglrx which is installed when you emerge ati-drivers. It's strange that it can not find the driver, though. If it's possible, can you attach the error message? The ati-drivers package also comes with a tool, aticonfig, which may help auto-configure xorg.conf, as well.
