This was caused by you and I following the somewhat generic upgrade instructions. fb = Frame Buffer. Under VIDEO_CARDS="intel fb vesa" (that's all from meory but you'll know it when you look at your make.conf file you probably added fb or fbdev - whatever it was. If you and I don't use frame buffers then you and I should remove it, or so I think. Then when X starts it won't have those drivers to load and it won't look for stuff we don't have in our kernels. Hope this helps, Mark
