Gentlemen: Here's what I have found over the last day or so in trying to get to X functionality. This is with a computer with more then one distribution, and the others all have X functionality. The computer is an Intel 810 motherboard with the i810 integrated graphics device.
I can see there is no /dev/mouse0 or /dev/agpgart on the Gentoo partition as there is on the Fedora partition, so part of the installation is incomplete. I copied the known functional /etc/X11/xorg.conf from the known functional Fedora X installation. When I invoke, startx, I get two errors. One has to do with the missing /dev/agpgart and the other has to do with the missing /dev/mouse0. I did try to follow the "X Server Configuration Howto" at gentoo.org with 'emerge xorg-x11', 'env-update', 'xorgconfig' and others, but I obviously missed a step and my naivety is showing a little bit. What installation step have I missed that precluded Gentoo from creating these two device nodes (and perhaps some others) that keep me from getting to the next step, an X windows screen (forget about KDE for now, I would be happy just to get a pointer moving around on the screen).
