If rectangles appearing instead of fonts is a problem then set the fonts to liberation, cantarell, or another non-bitmap font.
Go into the preferences/configuration font section and scroll until a font displays and choose it.
Pango-1.44.7 switched from fontconfig to harfbuzz which doesn't support displaying bitmap fonts.

I'm going to switch back to 3.32-prime gnome-kit following directions here:
Sync and update world. Hopefully it will revert back so I can see the fonts again.

The gfxcard-intel mix-ins has no idea what specific intel hardware it's configuring for so why should it default to i965 ?
It includes i915 that requires gallium so it adds that use flag.
You could write a specific mix-ins for each intel driver but then the user would have to identify their hardware and choose the correct driver.
In this case every intel driver is built so it improves the odds of success.

You must either completely remove VIDEO_CARDS=" " from make.conf or put a comment in front of it like this #VIDEO_CARDS=" " or it overrides the gfxcard-intel mix-ins setting configuration.

gfxcard-intel mix-ins you should see these use flags and VIDEO_CARD settings :

My grahics card requires the gfxcard-radeon mix-ins which I removed before adding gfxcard-intel.
Any use flag or VIDEO_CARD addition due to adding intel or subtraction due to removal of radeon has an asterisk *
As you can see mesa requires +gallium and +llvm which you had disabled in make.conf

Hi,
My upgraded 1.3->1.4 funtoo has an ASUS HD6450 Silent graphics card with a Northern Islands Caicos chipset.
I have lxde and gfxcard-radeon mix-ins locked in.

Extract the stage3 you used for your installation inside an empty directory.
If lib is not a symlink to lib64 or usr/lib is not a symlink to usr/lib64 file a bug report identifying the defective stage3.

Test boot your system with nomodeset removed from the kernel command line:
When grub2 boot menu appears hit e on keyboard to edit.

Hit F10 key to boot.
If this solves the problem make it default by following directions here:

I updated all the references from 1.3 to 1.4 : https://www.funtoo.org/Install/Download_and_Extract_Stage3
Download link on left of www.funtoo.org goes to https://www.funtoo.org/Subarches
Click your chosen subarch to go to the specific subarch page where there are links to download the stage3 and to browse the mirror.
https://www.funtoo.org/Generic_64
I prefer to get the stage3 that includes the subarch and build date in the file name rather than just stage3-latest .

To prevent the kernel/initramfs from auto building set USE -binary for sys-kernel/debian-sources{-lts} in /etc/portage/package.use before you emerge.

Generic_64 or nehalem subarch for 64 bit atom?
in Installation Help
Posted · Edited by cardinal
Don't use a subarch that includes CPU_FLAGS that are not supported by the CPU of the target hardware(intel64-silvermont) or compiler(intel64-ivybridge).
Reference the Funtoo CPU Guide to find it's subarch, then go to the subarch download page to find it's CPU_FLAGS.
Reference intel64-nehalem subarch download page to find it's CPU_FLAGS.
The atom(silvermont) cpu and the i5(ivybridge) cpu support all the CPU_FLAGS in the intel64-nehalem subarch.
Yes, you could use the intel-nehalem subarch on the i5 to build software for the atom.
It would be a problem if you are building to run on an older CPU that doesn't support all the nehalem CPU_FLAGS.
If you are only building packages for the atom then use intel64-silvermont on the i5 .
Don't use intel64-ivybridge subarch on the i5 to build packages for atom because the atom doesn't have avx.
