[gentoo-user] Problems starting X

[Johannes Skov Frandsen <joe@omesc.com>]

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
xauth:  creating new authority file /home/joe/.serverauth.3857

      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.
