Thank you again for the pointer. there's an ebuild + instructions available at: http://media.homelinux.org/gentoo Gentoo will not include 4.4.0 in portage because of license issues they have. I use the ebuild above on various machines and it works perfectly. HTH, Michael Thank you.

[XFree86] Problem getting xfree to work ( on gentoo )
Hello. I have a running installation of Fedora and have just started to get used to gentoo, in another hard drive. I havent been able to configure gentoo, and dont know what is going on. I have an MSI nvidia GForce card. I have tried starting from a fresh XF86Conf from xf86config to starting from Fedora's xf86cfg is unusable, as it goes out of sync with the screen almost at once, and locks the keyboard (i.e. not even the leds will work, so a hard reboot is in order). When I configured a vga driver with 8bpp and 640x480, the result was that the display area was smaller than the screen, and a single term wouldnt fit. When I used the nv driver, I would get windows that looked out of sync, so much that anything was unreadable (except for the osd display of the monitor) When I used the nvidia driver, the nvidia splash showed up correctly, and the windows appeared ok for an instant, then suddenly it all filled up with different collored squares, like that old c/pascal graphics demo, more or less... and lock the keyboard too. Anyone has any idea what can be wrong? I doubt the XF86Config has anything to do, but here it is, and one log file . It would have been impossible for me to take a screenshot, but anyway I think it would be too much to put on a mailing list. # XFree86 4 configuration created by redhat-config-xfree86 Section ServerLayout # InputDevicecursor SendCoreEvents #InputDevicestylusSendCoreEvents #InputDeviceeraserSendCoreEvents # InputDevice WPTablet # SendCoreEvents #AlwaysCore Identifier single head configuration Screen 0 Screen0 0 0 InputDeviceMouse0 CorePointer InputDeviceKeyboard0 CoreKeyboard InputDeviceDevInputMice SendCoreEvents EndSection Section Files # RgbPath is the location of the RGB database.

The mouse works fine when i boot into 2.4, but it doesn't move with 2.6. I haven't changed anything in my X config. Here is the kernel options i set: # # Input device support # CONFIG_INPUT=y # # Userland interfaces # CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSEDEV=y CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSEDEV_PSAUX=y CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSEDEV_SCREEN_X=1280 CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSEDEV_SCREEN_Y=1024 # CONFIG_INPUT_JOYDEV is not set # CONFIG_INPUT_TSDEV is not set # CONFIG_INPUT_EVDEV is not set # CONFIG_INPUT_EVBUG is not set I decided to detach the mouse from the system and startx, but it didn't give any errors? It doesn't give any errors when the mouse is attached either. The mouse is a Logitech PS/2 MX700. The X config looks like this: Section InputDevice Identifier MX700 Driver mouse Option CorePointer Option Device /dev/psaux Option Protocol IMPS/2 EndSection I used mdetect to detect the mice, and it gives results even when the mouse is not connected to the system? The X server is the latest in Debian Sid, sorry not sure what version exactly, but it'd be probably the latest. Umm i think that's it. Anyone got any ideas? Did you compile the kernel yourself? I did, but it is possible that mine and yours are different, so try changing the device to /dev/imput/mouse0 ___ XFree86 mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86
