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).
When I boot into Gentoo now and type "startx" the screen shows a cursor then goes back to the terminal with this:
Code:
darkstar / # startx

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!
I'm not sure about Gentoo, but are you sure your mouse is still configured as /dev/mouse on your installation? On my system, that is /dev/psaux. It really depends on what mouse type configured in the kernel config. If not you may need to change the device at /etc/X11/XF86Config.
By the way, if you have xf86cfg you can use it to setup your X the easy way.
yes you know that your XF86Config is working on slackware but not on gentoo :-). /dev/mouse is usually a link to the real device, you should create it, or change your X config.

I created it by using this (had the same thought you did):
ln -sf /dev/mouse/psaux /dev/mouse (that might not be the exact command, I'm very tired at th e moment)
