Please consult the The X.Org Foundation support 
	 at http://wiki.x.org
 for help. 
Please also check the log file at "/var/log/Xorg.0.log" for additional information.
My kernel is the 2.6.36-r1
I'm using an ATI 5870 plugged to my TV through HDMI cable.

Here is my make.conf

Code: Select all

CFLAGS="-march=amdfam10 -O2 -pipe"
CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"
USE="mmx sse sse2 gtk gnome -qt4 -kde dvd dvdr alsa cdr"
MAKEOPTS="-j7"
VIDEO_CARDS="fglrx"
INPUT_DEVICES="evdev"


GENTOO_MIRRORS="ftp://gentoo.cs.nctu.edu.tw/gentoo/ http://gentoo.cs.nctu.edu.tw/gentoo/"

SYNC="rsync://rsync.tw.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage"
I really don't see what is the problem.
Thank you for your help

I've tried to run aticonfig --initial
then a startx

I see a purple screen then back to the command line with:

Code: Select all

(EE) Failed to load module "dri" (module does not exist, 0)
(EE) Failed to load module "dri2" (module does not exist, 0)
(WW) fglrx: No matching Device section for instance found
I guess the important message is relating to fglrx.....

EDIT: The WW is not very relevant according to different post.

However now, the X -retro -config works !

It might just be a problem now with xinitrc.

I will install gnome first to see how it goes

Yes I did it.
Actually I don't understand why....X -configure didn't work but aticonfig -initial did the trick.
So it is working now...
