I would like to get Gnome running on a HP zd7000 laptop. I emerged Grub with out error, when I run startx I get the following error:Below that you can see my xorg.conf file. I have been doing some research and since have added the nvidia-kernel module, it kinda seemed strange that at the time of compiling the 2.6.11 kernel it does have the option to enable support for nvidia chips. I have also modified my config file a few times. Google has brought up some helpful hints to properly config this file, yet I am hitting a few bumps. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. One more thing, am also troubled by the mouse0 error when I cat /dev/input/mice I see data. I've had: Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Mice" & Section "InputDevice" Identifier "USB Mice" and get the same error message! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx # startx X Window System Version 6.8.2 Release Date: 9 February 2005 X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0, Release 6.8.2 Build Operating System: Linux 2.6.11-gentoo-r6 i686 [ELF] Current Operating System: Linux julia 2.6.11-gentoo-r6 #2 SMP Thu May 5 20:41:29 CDT 2005 i686 Build Date: 05 May 2005 Before reporting problems, check http://wiki.X.Org to make sure that you have the latest version.
