Hi everyone! I just installed Gentoo 2004.3 from the minimal cd, doing a stage 1 install. I got the thing running (an iBook G4 14" 1.2ghz), and I emerged gnome. My problem is that when I try to start X via startx, gdm, or xdm, the hard drive grinds for a second or two like it's working, but I get pushed to a black screen. Once there, I can't do anything, I cant switch to any terminal or kill the X server. A few problems I had during the install: I accidentally put in the CFLAGS line in the make.conf "-[zero]2" instead of "-[letter O]2". It appeared to build stuff for gnome about half-way through, then I fixed it. Also, the building of mozilla stopped "emerge gnome", but "emerge gnome-light" said I had all of the packages for it. I'm still kind of a newbie, so any suggestions are welcome!
