I notice you mention sabayon a few times - are you using sabayon or
gentoo - they are not exactly the same and if you are mixing guides this
may be the reason you are having such odd problems.

Hi, I have this netbook too. The actual CPU type is N2800 and intergrated graphic is GMA3600 so the graphics drivers in kernel support is GMA500. Do you have that enabled?

In my `make.conf`, I have `VIDEO_CARDS="intel fbdev vesa"`, and I don't have an Xorg.conf. All works well except when the system booting with extenal video output (VGA or HDMI) plugged, both LVDS and monitor gone black. But I think that won't be the problem.

I use Gentoo, only for install i use Sabayon because Gentoo Install
Disc could not use, they has mistake in start. They could not mount
bootdisc after keymaps.

My CPU is a N550. Can you cat ur make.conf? What you use in INPUT_DEVICE?

Sounds like a locale.gen issue (You're using the wrong language)

Although slim works, you need to use the F1 key to select what window manager to use. The default is a minimal x display with an xterm and that could be part of your problem.

As someone posted earlier, if you are mixing a Gentoo and Sabyon Install, You will have issues. Nothing says you can't use the sabyon image to boot - then simply follow the Gentoo Install Guide as normal to get a working system and DO NOT MIX.
