I got Gentoo installed with only a few minor problems, but those are the worse right? Anyway, I can boot into a terminal and could could fine into TWM (yuck).
So I emerged XFCE4 by doing this:
I then inserted this into ~./xinitrc :
When I boot into Gentoo now and type "startx" the screen shows a cursor then goes back to the terminal with this:
My guess is that it won't load because my mouse won't load. But I copied the XF86Config file from my Slackware installation..so I KNOW that it works.
Anyone have a take on this? I will post any of my config files, just someone help me!

mdetect
mdetect(1) General Commands Manual mdetect(1)NAME
mdetect - mouse device autodetection tool
SYNOPSIS
mdetect [option ...]
OPTIONS
mdetect may be run without arguments.
-h display a help message and exit
-n do not search for PnP (Plug 'n' Play) mice
-r [not yet implemented]
-v be verbose; this option may be specified multiple times for increasing levels of verbosity
-o produce output appropriate for XFree86 3.x configuration
-x produce output appropriate for XFree86 4.x configuration
DESCRIPTION
mdetect is a tool for autoconfiguring mice and compatible pointing devices; it is typically used as the backend to some user-friendly fron-
tend code that, for example, asks the user to move the mouse for a moment. mdetect is then run while user is producing input on the mouse
device. While mouse motion during detection is sometimes unnecessary, it is seldom problematic.
mdetect writes the autodetected mouse device and protocol to standard output. Unless either of the -o or -x options is given, mdetect pro-
duces output appropriate for configuring the gpm(1) program. Alternatively, output appropriate for an XFree86 X server configuration file
is produced. If the -v option is given, some information about the program's status is also written to standard output, but this is
largely unimplemented at this writing.
If mdetect is unable to find a mouse device, it exits after a few seconds of searching.
NOTES
Detection of serial and PS/2 devices is often aided by moving the mouse while mdetect runs.
Terminals connected to serial ports may display a small amount of garbage to the screen while mdetect probes them, but this a harmless
side-effect; the terminal's line settings are restored after the port has been probed.
DIAGNOSTICS
mdetect's exit status is used to communicate information.
0 mdetect found a mouse and exited normally.
1 An error occurred while attempting to read from the mouse device.
2 mdetect timed out and gave up searching for a mouse device; this indicates either that no mouse device is attached to the computer,
or that a mouse device exists which mdetect knows nothing about. This also happens if your only mouse device(s) are already open
and in use; for instance, by gpm or an X Window System server.
3 An error occurred while trying to set up mdetect's signal handler.
