With the developers depriceating xfree86 I am trying to get one computer running xorg and having difficulty. Everyone says you can use the exact same configuration file as xfree86 just rename it xorg.conf. Well I emerge xorg and renamed the file and when I start the xserver all I get is a bunch of colored lines and no amount of mouse movement or key punches get anything to happen. The only way top get out is to kill the computer and try again. This was the reason why I ended up installing xfree in the first place a couple of months ago because xorg won't work on this computer. Does any one have any idea what i can do to fix this.
