Sabayon: Xserver wont start, need internet

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 
DAMN YOU ATI!! Sorry I had to get that out of my system Anywho, I successfully installed Sabayon onto my 5320. The Live DVD worked almost flawlessly. Only problem was the lack of XGL/Beryal. But I rarely use things like that so I didnt think much of it.

But I guess it was a problem. Xserver wont start. I know the problem, I need compatable ati drivers. So I "emerge ati-drivers" to download new drivers but low and behold, I forgot about the WEP key on my router. I dont know how to get onto wireless through command line. And ontop of that, I told it not to start the ethernet port when Sabayon starts. So I'm a little stuck and I dont want to go through the painful long install just so I can tell it to have the ethernet port on when I power on the PC.
