I think I have made a mess of my installation, but I think its recoverable.
I installed Gentoo AMD64 from the minimal install disk. Next I installed
X, gdm and gnome. All went well with the exception of the MS core fonts
which threw a checksum error when the trying to install andale.exe. I
restarted with emerge --resume --skipfirst and all seemed OK - please
correct me if I am wrong here!
First problem - X wouldn't start. After reading around I noted that I
should have included
INPUT_DEVICES="keyboard mouse"
VIDEO_CARDS="nv nvidia"
I re-emerged X but no joy - eventually I manually emerged the xf86
keyboard and mouse drivers and I managed to get into Gnome using the nv
driver. Nvidia complains about the kernel being tainted and removing
riva drivers from the Kernel - which were not compiled in anyway so I am
not sure what is wrong there.
Gnome appears to have 90% of its icons missing - the terminal icon is
there but any other icon in the menu is missing and most of the icons on
the panel are missing.
So - Several questions:
1. How do I fix the icon problem?
2. What is wrong with Nvidia - I followed the NVidia guide and
reinstalled nvidia after recompiling the kernel.
Kevin.
