Hello,
My friend have ASUS eee pc based on amd platform, we want to run gentoo on it, but we cant figure out how to configure Xserver.
It has AMD C60 cpu installed and Radeon 6250 graphic chip.

We managed to install base system, but whenever startx is launched screen goes dark, and slowly fading into white...
xorg.conf is basicly empty atm.

If someone have eee pc based on same platform i'll be happy to get hands on his workin xorg.conf and kernel .config.

Kernel config needs radeon DRM and modesetting enabled, radeon-ucode needs to be installed, and the firmware files have to be built into the kernel if the radeon module also is.

xorg.conf is unnecessary.

http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/xorg-config.xml has all the configuration instructions.

The X Server itself needs no configuration. For kernel, make sure that you have firmware installed and CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE set as in the xorg-config guide.
