I cant get my dhcp to work in gentoo 1.4... The internet connection worked properly during install but... couldnt get it to work afterwards :/ any suggestions? im thinkin of taking the /etc/conf.d/net from the install (after running the install disks again, but not reinstalling again) and looking at them, writing down some notes and copying them to the installed /etc/conf.d/net... would that work?

-----------------Save to XF86config_tv so you know what XF86config to use

 

 

 

**************Import***********************

make the twin view save something like XF86Config_TwinView.bak

make the tv out, XFConfig_TVOUT_Only.bak

 

this way you can do something like cp XF86Config_TwinView.bak XF86Config

this way you can switch back and forth... and make a XF86Config_normal.bak

so you know what your doing... ok i suck have a nice day... FAQS are not my thing... But hopefully this helps.

 

 

 

 

----FAQ Sucks... But now you'll have tv out support / twin view support

Have A Nice Day
