I needed another driver. Below are the three drivers I now have installed. Before, when startx failed, I only had the first two. An emerge x11-drivers/xf86-video-fbdev fixed the problem. x11-drivers/ati-drivers-9.9-r2 x11-drivers/xf86-input-evdev-2.2.5 x11-drivers/xf86-video-fbdev-0.4.1 This should probably be added to the installation documentation. I've followed the documentation many times before the new Xorg came out and didn't have this problem. Thanks all, dhk

[gentoo-user] X fails after new install
A couple of months ago when the new X came out I did an upgrade on my x86 box and all went well. Recently I reinstalled Gentoo on the same box because I wanted to repartition my hard disk, now I can't get X working. I'm using xfce4 and when I run startx or startxfce4 I get errors saying no ati, vesa, fbdev modules and then no windows. My make.conf has INPUT_DEVICES=evdev and VIDEO_CARDS=fglrx. There isn't and xorg.conf file, but I don't think I need one anymore; also X -configure fails. It should work since everything worked after the upgrade, but the clean install fails. Any ideas? Thanks, dhk
