I tend to agree.Time to start over, from the beginning, which new clean data. Machine hardware, full Gentoo configuration, xorg.conf files, etc., along with the problem statement, so that we can get a clean view of what's what. (As if we don't know...) ;-) A side note... A friend just built his first new Gentoo machine based on the Sandy Bridge processor. To get it to work it turned out we had to choose specific CFLAGS due to problems with gcc on that processor. Dale's problems might be of that nature - new hardware and very slight incompatibilities causing fairly major problems... Cheers, Mark
