I got Gentoo installed with only a few minor problems, but those are the worse right?
Anyway, I can boot into a terminal and could could fine into TWM (yuck).
So I emerged XFCE4 by doing this:
Code:
use="-gnome -kde" emerge xfce
I then inserted this into ~./xinitrc :
Code:
xfce-mcs-manager
xfwm4 --daemon
xftaskbar4 &
xfdesktop &
xfce4-panel
exec xfdesktop
When I boot into Gentoo now and type "startx" the screen shows a cursor then goes back to the terminal with this:
Code:
darkstar / # startx
hostname: Unknown host

My guess is that it won't load because my mouse won't load. But I copied the XF86Config file from my Slackware installation..so I KNOW that it works.
Anyone have a take on this? I will post any of my config files, just someone help me!
