did you forget to add these to /etc/make.conf?
INPUT_DEVICES="keyboard mouse synaptics" VIDEO_CARDS="ati radeon vesa fbdev fglrx"
Iain, it seems likee you have not read my 1st post, here is the relevent part of it: INPUT_DEVICES="keyboard mouse" VIDEO_CARDS="fglrx vesa via vga v4l" BTW, what does "synaptics" do? and what do "ati radeon fbdev" do? if i add them, will they solve my problem? ( i am asking as i have installed BLAG Linux for now,so that i can communicate with you folks, i have to reinstall Gentoo to try that)
you may use a different set of drivers of course. See google on these for more info :)
i tried google. it confused me even more. what is DRI & OpenGL replacing X window system? what does "mesa" has to do with "DRI" & why ATI RADEON search opens the links to AMD web-site & then they show me something like AMD 9600 series for Linux x86_64 ? ? -- http://arnuld.blogspot.com/ Linux registered user #439610 http://counter.li.org/ -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
