At the very least, you should include the VESA driver: x11-drivers/xf86-video-vesa That will allow the user to get a working video output. After that, they can determine which specific driver they need and install it manually. Note: your system has the nvidia driver (xf86-video-nv) installed. -- Freddie Cash fjwcash@gmail.com
