Description Malcolm Lashley (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-04-12 18:03:25 UTC
Testing new livecd media for Kugelfang. On Dell Optiplex 745 (E6400, ATI X1300) - the mkxf86config.sh decides I need an ati driver - but none appears to be on the livecd - second it reports a missing symbol from the xorg opengl library...

(By forcing Driver="vesa" in xorg.conf - X starts up fine.

livecd ~ # startx

I can confirm this bug, but the fix by setting it to vesa does not work for me :(
I will post the error later today.
