I have several M710's at work running both gentoo and Ubuntu, and X is running ok on them. Getting the config from a liveCD is a good place to start if you're really not sure. One thing though - since some other items were mentioned (albeit briefly), regarding kernel and splashimage, maybe a quick review of the system would refresh those of us who are now on the radar with you... sounds like re-hashing, but we can't fix one thing and break three others. The idea here is to get you up and running with the least additional frustration... -----Original Message----- From: Rumen Yotov [mailto:rumen@qrypto.org] Sent: Friday, May 04, 2007 9:11 AM To: gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org Subject: Re: [gentoo-user] Xserver on Dell Inspiron M1710 On Fri, 04 May 2007 08:48:20 -0400 Colleen Beamer wrote: > david wrote: > > What happens when you; > > > > emerge -pv xorg-x11 > > > What do you mean, "What happens"?

Later play with it, man pages, Google, ML etc. At least will have a working Xorg. HTH. Rumen -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
