| I changed the -march=amd64 in my CFLAGS in make.conf to -march=native and its emerging! Well, so far at least. I have only one port to the modem so I stopped it at 5 out of 410 to post that update on here. Before it would not get past 1 so I'm assuming its working! |

I have a couple questions now - When I do startx to begin the GUI for gnome, my applications list is empty. This link - http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-816565-highlight-gnome+menu.html says to do export XDG_MENU_PREFIX=gnome- but that did not work for me. What can I check for to fix this?
When I startx, how do I go back to a terminal? I thought that maybe I needed to export WHILE I have startx, but I don't know how to get to a terminal with an empty applications list. I tried Alt+f1,f2,f3,etc but that did not work like it does before I do startx. So how can I go back to a terminal, while keeping the GUI up? |

You have to recompile your kernel after setting "CONFIG_R8169=y" in /usr/src/linux/.config so the driver will be included in the newly generated kernel, check the guide at: Kernel Configuration
With that line it shouldn't look for a module as the driver will be compiled in the kernel, so if you still have the error message during boot, you should check it's not in /etc/conf.d/modules
As for the XDG prefix, I thought it would be fixed by now. When it was needed it had to be exported before gnome-menus was launched.
Switching to a TTY is done with CTRL+ALT+F#

Hmm, well apparently I didn't recompile the kernel. I really thought I did, but oh well. Now that works fine.
I did startx and then went to a terminal, and tried the export. However, nothing changed. How do I check if any applications are even installed? |

Gnome installs some .desktop files on its own, so you have applications for sure. As for why you can't see them, I have no clue...
Maybe you could check in the file called .gnomerc_errors or something like that in your home directory.
