No way to see the desktop on live cd,

[blackdiamond]

I tried to install Sabayon from a live cd using the 86_64 mini ed livecd for my AMD64.
Video card: Ati Sapphire 2400
Installing the live cd there is no way to see the desktop.
I always obtain the root#
i can also install sabayon writing root# installer
after the installation and the reboot i always obtain the root#..
So the problem is that there is no way to start x..
It should be a problem of the video card?
Do you think there is no way to install Sabayon?
btw the same thing happens with gentoo live cd..
bye from Italy

Did u try any cheat codes?

Is the md5sum correct?

did you burn iso with burn verify?

[blackdiamond]

yeah!
i also trying, as a suggestion from the italian community of this forum, to write on boot "xdriver=radeon opengl=xorg-x11"..
there is no way..
and then also writing from the root# startx don't go..

[wolfden]

cause SL don't use startx

we use xdm - /etc/init.d/xdm start

[blackdiamond]

so i have to write "/etc/init.d/xdm start" from the root#?

[wolfden]

well you shouldn't have to as it should boot to the desktop by default

[blackdiamond]

mmm...nothing..
