whats the solution to my problem?

[Jonathan183]

Have you checked you are not trying to use the drivers for your graphics card rather than the vm display? What are the error messages in the log?

[invizible]

well...i didnt do anything..the live cd GUI is working fine and i can use gentoo via live cd but after installing it when its loading it doesnt load the gui and i get Xorg error...the log file is too huge...how can i copy from it and paste it...i installed it as a vm in virtualbox.. the problem is stating about dev/fb0 or some graphics driver...
