It that doesn't help look for errors in /var/log/Xorg.0.log.

# egrep "(EE|WW)" /var/log/Xorg.0.log

We sort of need to know which nic you have. If you really have no clue use 
`lspci`. I believe it's on the livecd if you can't emerge pciutils due to the 
lack of network. `lsmod` or `dmesg | grep Link` executed from the livecd 
should be helpful too...
