Most likely he will need to generate a xorg.conf. There is a example
one available as well. I'm hoping the Gentoo install docs still tell
how to generate a xorg.conf tho. Surely they didn't remove that. I
doubt he was installing Gentoo without reading the docs.
Maybe the OP will post back what is going on shortly.
I also got to start looking at last names instead of just first names.
We have one more Alan on the list.
