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:I followed
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/desktop.xml
look for "Code listing 2.2: Running xf86config"
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/desktop.xml Code listing 2.2 and https://www6.software.ibm.com/developerworks/education/l-xwin/l-xwin-3-1.html
to create XF86Config and test the same according to Code listing 2.3. But still failed
