Hi,
I'm installing Gentoo on a really old PC (with a Pentium III and a i815
graphic card). I've installed a minimal Gentoo system, and I'm trying to
get Xorg working.
I've searched on the Gentoo wiki, and found that I should use an old
version of mesa (<8.0) to get OpenGL support [1]. So I have masked
recent versions of mesa and some Xorg packages in order to install the
last version of mesa that is below 8.0. My package.mask is:
>media-libs/mesa-7.10.3
>=app-eselect/eselect-opengl-1.2.6
>x11-proto/glproto-1.4.15
>x11-base/xorg-server-1.12.4-r5
I have no xorg.conf.
When I run startx, the screen goes black and the Xorg server segfaults,
according to the log file [2]. Nothing works after that, including the
keyboard, so I cannot go back to a linux console. Maybe it is a
configuration issue, or maybe I'm using a buggy version. Has anyone any
suggestion on what configuration and versions I should use?
Thanks,
François-Xavier Carton
