Top posting for consistency. I booted the Gentoo GUI media.  I opened a window just in case it rebooted or something while I took a little nap.  The resolution is 1080P which is what I expected the monitor to run at.  When I got back up a few minutes ago, the same window was there.  It ran for hou

Hi Mark, I think you have a good point.  I think I missed something.  Gentoo can be complicated to get going the first time with all the config options.  Once it is going tho, it goes.  I feel I missed either a config option in the guide or maybe some package is missing that isn't pulled in as a d

Dale, Sorry for top posting but I'm travelling and responding on my phone. I don't think this is you hardware and probably not KDE. It's possibly some Gentoo-ish issue. To test and get a KDE config I would boot a Kubuntu flash drive and choose the 'Try it's option which installs nothing.

kde hasn't been accessible enough for screen reader users like me to install it and use it. That out of the way, could that be kde locking your screen for you using a 1 minute time limit? If so, maybe that can be adjusted. The gsettings app likely isn't on your machine so it won't help for me to

Howdy, On my new rig, I've got everything installed.  I mostly been on a console which has worked without issue.  Now I've started using the GUI, KDE, and I'm having issues.  I wanted to run a command to generate a xorg.conf file and it generate all the needed info regarding hardware and such sinc

[gentoo-user] Bash, PS1, alias and how it works now.

Howdy, On my new rig, I'm trying to set up the PS1 and alias variables.  I found the bash page on the Gentoo wiki but it seems to detail doing it for each user in their home directories.  Since I'm the only one using this rig, I prefer to set it globally and have the commands behave the same way n
