Have you followed this wiki page to configure your kernel, include the appropriate firmware for your card(s), set up INPUT_DEVICES & VIDEO_CARDS in make.conf, emerge associated x11-base/xorg-drivers and the x11-base/xorg- server packages before a reboot? https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Xorg/Guide There should be a fb0 device listed: $ ls -l /dev/fb* crw-rw---- 1 root video 29, 0 Jun 14 08:52 /dev/fb0 You'll also need to have emerged a Desktop Environment, or at least a window manager: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Window_manager Check the above wiki pages and post back with any queries and accompanying logs if things do not work as expected. --nextPart2230014.iZASKD2KPV Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part.
