i double checked my xorg.conf, and you cannot have compiz with 'vesa' driver. i made a mistake. i think the issue you have relates to the vboxvideo driver from the portage tree. unemerge them, and remove the vbox* flag from your make.conf, then use the vbox additions from the ISO file the vbox system provided. -- Best Regards, David Shen http://twitter.com/davidshen84/ http://meme.yahoo.com/davidshen84/
