Please post - eix xorg-server - values of INPUT_DEVICES and VIDEO_CARDS from make.conf - confirm that you built the kernel with evdev and the kernel module is loaded There's a decent X11 install page on the gentoo wiki, did you follow it? Installing on vbox is not too different from installing on metal except you don't use the video driver for the physical card, you use the vbox one (it's virtualized). Lastly, why a 32 bit guest on a 64 bit host? There's little benefit from doing that, and amd64 is far better supported in general than x86_64. Plus you just create more work for the host.

[gentoo-user] newish vbox gentoo guest crashes from startx
Setup: gentoo 32bit vbox guest on win 10 64bit host Installed xorg-server, lxde Meta pkgs and deps (along with many other pkgs ... to many to list here but included at the end) uname -a: Linux g0 4.8.8-gentoo #2 Fri Nov 18 20:16:14 EST 2016 i686 Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU X5450 @ 3.00GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux Theoretically the install should be ready now to run X and lxde. However, when I run `startlxde' nothing whatsoever happens. At least not at the command line or visibly. Prompt just returns lamely. However, if I run startx. The vm crashes clear to power off or sometimes just becomes inoperable with these error messages showing. (Note: nothing can be clicked moved or etc at this point) I'm having trouble figuring out where to start to get a handle on this. This is not my first time installing gentoo in a vbox vm... I've done several over time and two just of late. Although the installs were not trouble free, I had none of this sort of trouble. Posting /var/log/Xorg.0.log which shows several modules not loading. vesa and fbdev... but checking my kernel compile I see both were selected for. Other parts I'm not sure what they might mean. Also included below is last 175 lines of a debug.log I have setup in rsyslog. I can't tell how many lines to include so just a shot in the dark. There are a number of lines about Vbox not recognizing symbols And finally a full listing of everthing that has been installed. Which runs to 650+ lines. So massive amount of data... which seems .. unavoidable.
