Hi Bob and welcome to Gentoo,
Which graphic desktop you have installed? If its plain X server
(i.e., xorg-x11) then you'll get a very basic desktop, which you
obviously dont want. If you installed kde, then probaby you've not
modified your .xinitrc file. Execute this command from from console,
echo "exec startkde" > ~/.xinitrc
next time you execute 'startx', kde will startup.
for GNOME, execute this command first
echo "exec gnome-session" > ~/.xinitrc
then startx will bring gnome up. For more info on other desktop's
checkout the Gentoo docs at http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/list.xml
Hope this helps,
Farhan Ahmed
