Thanks for your help. I read that document a while ago. It says I need : 1) gentoo-sources 2.6.29 + : I'm ok, my version is 2.6.29-r5 2) xorg-server 1.6+ : here I'm too old. I have 1.5.3-r6. however, emerge says that 1.5.3-r6 is the latest available.... 3) xf86-video-intel 2.6.1+: I have 2.6.3-r1. Do you think it wold be a good idea to upgrade xorg, even if emerge says I've the latest available version?

Thanks for your help.

I read that document a while a= go.
It says I need :
1) gentoo-sources 2.6.29 + : I'm ok, my vers= ion is 2.6.29-r5
2) xorg-server 1.6+ : here I'm too old. I have 1.5.= 3-r6. however, emerge says that 1.5.3-r6 is the latest available....
3) xf86-video-intel 2.6.1+: I have 2.6.3-r1.

Do you think it wold be= a good idea to upgrade xorg, even if emerge says I've the latest avail= able version?

Thank you,
Massimiliano

You'll=20 probably want to run the very latest version of the intel driver, to try it= , add=20 the following to /etc/portage/package.keyword;
