Hmm, do you still have an xorg.conf file or changed settings in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d? If you have, can you post it please? I think it is related to the 'SubSection "Device" Virtual xdim ydim' setting but I'm not sure. In any case, if I were you, I'd try running without any xorg.conf and see whether auto-configuration can handle it. Oh, and if you are still on x11-base/xorg-server-1.7.*, please try x11-base/xorg-server-1.8.2 with USE=3D"udev -hal" Hope this helps, Florian Philipp --------------enigD5B4C7B3EF05FB42ECCC2DA4 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.16 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkzTJ3YACgkQqs4uOUlOuU9AhgCeNNWP5J/tyRQIJ1oik9CYwttd 1T8An1z2C8Qvk9C/tujdJZmH1B5yKkj+ =ULuT -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enigD5B4C7B3EF05FB42ECCC2DA4--
