Hi all,
I'm having some problem running X on my new PC un der Gentoo. I know the
hardware is supported by Xorg because I can run SimplyMepis 6.0 on it. It
uses the vesa driver and runs fine (24b/1280x1024). However under gentoo, the
vesa driver gives me the error: VESA(0): VESA BIOS not detected.
Some background info of my system:
motherboard: Foxconn P4M800P7MA
System: Gentoo 2006.1
Xorg: 7.1
xorg-server: xorg-server-1.1.1-r1
vesa-drv: xf86-video-vesa-1.2.1
Here are some details of log:
==========

For reference, with SimplyMepis, I get:

Does anyone have an idea of what I should do to get this hardware running on
Gentoo? Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
