I had to run 'installer' from commandline. Went with the recommended setup; got an Exception that the dialog says "this is a Bad Thing" ... I've done it twice, gotten to this point, and whether I choose 'yes' or 'no' to the prompt at this point, the system hangs, with no choice but to start over. So, the stage 3 installer for 64 bit looks hosed. I'm afraid its back to the Minimal CD and building the system again from scratch. I really hope the developer's can get this resolved... I was perfectly happy with stage1 and building from scratch back in the beginning. This 'helping to get a system up faster' just isn't working when it comes to gentoo... -----Original Message----- From: Aleksandar L.

Try locating it with $ locate libGLcore.so on my system its in /usr/lib. You could den update the modules path in xorg.conf or symlink (but the latter is no good idea) Unfortunately I have no idea which package it belongs to.

Don't worry, they can be added later. A recent version of x.org should really behave well despite this. The "No Screens found" is the usual output xorg gives when it encounters one or more errors during start up. > The display (according to lspci) is Intel Mobile 945GM/GMS/940GML Express. > > Do I need to customize the xorg.conf file to get the install to work? > You could just try commenting the line 'Load "GLcore"' in xorg.conf. That's just if you don't need GL-support for things like beryl. > Regards, Aleks -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
