hi! i coped with openssl and i finally installed gentoo with kde-3.2.2. and
here is the problem. fonts are to small. e.g helvetica 123 looks like
helvetica 10.

there is no font console and some other.

i installed alsa. everything is working but... sound is too quiet.

There is desktop related information at the Gentoo site:
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/index.xml#doc_chap5

You probably need to edit the font paths in your X configuration file e.g.:
Section "Files"
RgbPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb"
ModulePath "/usr/X11R6/lib/modules"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/local"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/misc"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/75dpi/:unscaled"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/100dpi/:unscaled"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/Type1"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/CID"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/Speedo"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/75dpi"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/100dpi"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/TTF"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/corefonts"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/cyrillic"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/encodings"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/fonts.cache-1"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/ukr"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/util"
EndSection

Please have a look in /usr/share/fonts what fonts are avialable. The
FontPath order is also important...

If you are using xfs, please read the man pages for further details.

Regarding the mixer settings, you can e.g. install media-sound/setmixer or
use an X application to tune your preferences.

/Good luck

i coped with it. it was going on setting dpi in server args in startx. now
all fonts are very suitable.

amixer was set up. i read that it could be order of loading modules, but i
also tried loading modules as in fedora (which i've used so far and there
were everithing ok) and sound was still quiet. i don't know how to solve
it.

If you installed alsa-utils, you can use alsamixer to turn up the volume.
