Stephen, send the contents of /etc/X11/XF86Config It looks like "startx" cannot find the config file. If you have not created this file, go to the Gentoo desktop configuration guide: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/desktop.xml look for "Code listing 2.2: Running xf86config" -- Regards, Ernie 100% Microsoft and Intel free -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
