Well, I think I found the problem (?) lspci shows: [Radeon HD 4350/4550] an old fanless card in this FX8350 machine This web pages shows only x11-org support for this card (?): https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/ATI_FAQ RV770 (R700) RadeonHD 4000 series [xorg] Note no "AMD" or "DRI" equery depends ati-drivers * These packages depend on ati-drivers: x11-base/xorg-drivers-1.14 (video_cards_fglrx ? x11-drivers/ati-drivers) So I must make modification so the ati-drivers is not called by xorg-drivers. The desktop is simple X with LXDE and openbox; so why is ati-drivers being called by xorg-drivers? Because I have this set up in make.conf (?): VIDEO_CARDS="radeon fbdev fglrx vesa" Which should be VIDEO_CARDS="fbdev fglrx vesa" ??? comments? James
