XF86Config file

[shortblack]

Question.
Have read somewhere in these forums that cpying the redhat XF86Config file replacing the gentoo configured one
I am asking this because I wish to do so because I have not been able to get a proper looking GUI with gentoo as I would with redhat 8 on my Laptop (Highlander) :opps:

I am a novice linux user but and am not will to give up on gentoo just yet. As the cocept is great.
And the support so far in this forum is second to none

Below I will post the conf fileand any advise links on what i should do or need would be great
