Hi, a few months ago I had the same problem, then :

emerge xf86-input-mouse
            xf86-video-fbdev
            xf86-video-vga [1]
            xf86-video-vesa [1]
            xf86-input-keyboard

Note: Only if you want because when you install the ati driver you don't need neather of them.

By other side and very important (my recomendation), download ati 8.36 driver and install it, reconfigure your xorg.conf doing this
aticonfig --initial. It's a good idea you do a backup of your xorg.conf.

Please try that thing and please give us feedback :D

I hope be helpfully for you have a nice day :D

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:

Couldnt get a file descriptor referring to the console

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.

Do you have the following set in your make.conf file?

INPUT_DEVICES="keyboard mouse"

That may not help but it may.
