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:

joe@localhost ~ $ startx

      after 0 requests (0 known processed) with 0 events remaining.
Couldnt get a file descriptor referring to the console
joe@localhost ~ $

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.
