i think the problem is this
Code: | [KMS] drm report modesetting isn't supported.
GPU only supported with KMS, using vesa instead. (vesa being disabled, ofc that wont work) |
in kernel: (quoting from http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/xorg-config.xml )
Quote: | Device Drivers --->
Graphics support --->
Support for frame buffer devices --->
(Disable all drivers, including VGA, Intel, nVidia, and ATI)
(Further down, enable basic console support. KMS uses this.)
Console display driver support --->
<*> Framebuffer Console Support |
Quote: | Device Drivers --->
Generic Driver Options --->
[*] Include in-kernel firmware blobs in kernel binary |
Quote: | Device Drivers --->
Graphics support --->
<*> Direct Rendering Manager --->
<*> ATI Radeon
[*] Enable modesetting on radeon by default |
also enabled Laptop Hybrid Graphics - GPU switching support...
also did emerge radeon-ucode (after installing x)
also tried to set some settings in grub.. i think it was radeon.modeset=1 i also tried i915.modeset=1 even if i figured that wouldn't help, just in case.. (cus it said so, the radeon.modeset was for another file)
i've run out of ideas.
I'm running this
2.1 GHz AMD Dual-Core A4-3400MX APU with Radeon HD 6515G2 Dual Graphics
AMD Radeon HD 6515G2 Dual GPU (512 MB DDR5 dedicated)
as you can see its one of them APU's from amd, i expected some problems with it... this is a start. _________________ This picture was my biggest reason for ever trying Gentoo <3

emerge wgetpaste (if you have not done so already) and use it to paste links to your kernel config and your /var/log/Xorg.0.log file here |

thanks bill! you're the man, you've helped me very much through my install! even fixed my low resolution problem
however, startx starts (i get the black screen) but then
/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc: line 63: exec: xterm: not found
/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc: line 63:xterm: command not found
xinit: connection to X server lost.
currently googling, this may just be cus i have no environment installed (haven't installed kde yet ofc)
but better safe than sorry.
i'm just not liking the "Not Found" _________________ This picture was my biggest reason for ever trying Gentoo <3 |

You probably failed to read this

Correct!
one more thing tho, while i'm at it.
This issue is so small i don't feel like making a thread for it...
but it's bothering me, portage keeps saying
/etc/locale.gen needs updating.
etc-update supposedly does this i found out, but... i'm having some very big problems using etc-update.... as in.. its not working somehow. i keep pressing 1 or 2 or 3 or whatever and then it just runs everything again. _________________ This picture was my biggest reason for ever trying Gentoo <3 |

You should first un-comment the needed locales in /etc/locale.gen (en_ for me) then run /usr/sbin/locale-gen
See Configure locales here: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-amd64.xml?part=1&chap=8 for more info. _________________ Good luck

Doing that doesn't fix it
and i probably don't understand how to use etc-update
doing that well, i already explained, but i'm certain thats the command i'm supposed to run here, because it tries to update the right file. _________________ This picture was my biggest reason for ever trying Gentoo <3 |

rabcor,
Change to the /etc directory ( cd /etc ) and do ls -a
Do you see a file that begins with ._cfg
It should be something like ._cfg_locale.gen. If it's there then etc-update should merge ._cfg_locale.gen and locale.gen then remove _cfg_locale.gen depending on the option you select.
If you etc-update and there are no configuration file found, then it returns:
Code: | stable xen # etc-update
Scanning Configuration files...
Exiting: Nothing left to do; exiting. :)
|
And that means that there's nothing to worry about _________________ Good luck

I found out what to do, i had to write "yes" and not just press enter
thanks anyways ^^ _________________ This picture was my biggest reason for ever trying Gentoo <3 |
