Fresh install on desktop. Trying to emerge xorg drivers:

Code:
# emerge xorg-drivers

Calculating dependencies... done!

>>> Verifying ebuild manifests
>>> Running pre-merge checks for x11-drivers/xf86-input-synaptics-1.6.2
 * Determining the location of the kernel source code
 * Found kernel source directory:
 *     /usr/src/linux
 * Found kernel object directory:
 *     /lib/modules/3.3.8-gentoo/build
 * Found sources for kernel version:
 *     3.3.8-gentoo

>>> Starting parallel fetch

>>> Emerging (1 of 4) x11-libs/libXi-1.6.1
 * Fetching files in the background. To view fetch progress, run
 * `tail -f /var/log/emerge-fetch.log` in another terminal.

rpil,

Code:
Resolving xorg.freedesktop.org... failed: Name or service not known.
wget: unable to resolve host address `xorg.freedesktop.org


suggests that something has trampled over /etc/resolv.conf or that your dhcp server does not send you nameserver entries.

rpil,

You can temporarily use google's public dns servers 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 :wink:

Well, thanks, guys, I still was chroot when I tried this. I made some corrections in the kernel, I booted in command prompt and now it compiles normally. :wink:
