Re: [gentoo-user] .dmrc error
Didn't see the root account message. Not sure how you would resolve that one (could experiment with the permissions on the directory - try 750 or 700), but I think if you're worried about security, it's never a wise idea to log in to an X session as root. Is there some particular reason that you have to do this (presumably regularly) instead of using su or sudo to access root privileges from a non-privileged account?

Re: [gentoo-user] .dmrc error
I had the same problem on Ubuntu. Just issue chmod 755 /home/. This isn't recursive and doesn't mean everyone can execute anything in your home directory - the execute bit only means traverse in reference to directories, so you should be okay.

[gentoo-user] Mouse not detected
Hi Folks, I have gentoo installed on QEMU and I'm having problems with the mouse not being detected. I have no /dev/mouse which means X won't start. If I do 'dmesg | grep -i mouse' I get: mice: PS/2 mouse device common for all mice input: ImExPS/2 Generic Explorer Mouse as /class/input/intput1 Can anyone point me (!) in the direction of what I need to do to get my mouse recognized?

RE: [gentoo-user] eth0 does not exist
Thanks, much appreciated. Turns out it was ne2k-pci. Added that to the file you mentioned and it was all good.

[gentoo-user] eth0 does not exist
Hi Folks, Very new to Gentoo, although not to Linux. I'm trying it out in QEMU, and have just completed the installation. Only problem is I can't seem to connect to the internet. QEMU is basically meant to provide an emulated network card to the OS it's hosting. Works fine for the install CD. Anyway, seeing as I was very new to the whole thing, I went with the genkernel option. As I say, everything seems to boot fine, except that I get this message: Starting eth0 Bringing up eth0 dhcp eth0 does not exist ERROR: problem starting needed services. "netmount" was not started I've tried /etc/init.d/net.eth0 start and /etc/init.d/netmount start and they both complain that eth0 doesn't exist. But if I do lspci I see my emulated network card right there: 00:03.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8029(AS) Can anyone help out? Am I just missing a kernel module?
