Hi

This is my first attempt on installing X so bare with me if my question is somewhat trivial.

So...I emerge gnome... tried to start x and got the following error message:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ startx

Is there a config file I have mised or.... I have compiled my kernel with ATI support to the best of my knowlege.(my shell is running nicly in 1920*1200 so i guess it must be using my graphiccard right).

If its any help, linux seems to think I'm using a CRT monitor when I boot (says so when it boots) , but I'm not.

Any help appriciated.
