Ok.
There is the problem after trying to make grub work with Gentoo and Windows i got it working then the next step, installing X and XFCE(i like XFCE).
I used genkernel to make it work and start to work right away.

Then installed Xorg according to the wiki, it worked.
With
VIDEO_CARDS="nouveau intel"

Then i went mad and tried to install the nvidia-drivers and xfce4 and believed that everything would be right.

With
VIDEO_CARDS="nvidia"
then i used
nvidia-xconfig

That was the configuration, then i tried to run startxfce4
and nothing happed but a black screen that doesn't ket me kill X nor change terminal.

After that i used emerge -uND @wolrd because i think that everything was installed to be used with nouveau but still it didn't work after that.

Again i tried to go back to VIDEO_CARDS="nouveau" but still i didn't get X to work, and update the portage tree again with the nouveau configuration.
I tried to delete the xorg.conf and still i didn't get it to work.

Right now i don't have idea what to try.

Thanks for reading :D

Update
I removed some lines on etc/portage/package.use/xfce (the nvidia drivers)
This was left.
Code:

app-text/poppler -qt4
dev-util/cmake -qt4#


Now i have update my make.conf to this.
Code:

# Build setup as of <add current date>

# C and C++ compiler options for GCC.
CFLAGS="-march=native -O2 -pipe"
CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"

# Note: MAKEOPTS and EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS are set in .bashrc

# Only free software, please.
ACCEPT_LICENSE="-* @FREE CC-Sampling-Plus-1.0"

And i updated again with emerge -uDN @world and now i got No Screen Found with this log.

I researched a little about this and some post commented that Nouveau may not support my VC, but then again i was working with X alone until i tried to install the property drivers and they clashed with Nouveau ones.

Then again i have an genkernel Kernel, meaning that i have the Nouveau by default.

Thanks.

Well, the first thing that needs to be considered: I don't know how you compiled your kernel. If you built your kernel with nouveau built in, the nvidia-drivers will not work as they will clash.

If you built nouveau as a module, you'll need to blacklist nouveau.ko when you're playing with nvidia-drivers.

You'll also need to eselect opengl to whatever you choose, too, but that's later - it shouldn't prohibit you from getting 2D graphics.

Next thing is wondering how far in the X initialization it went. The logfile is in /var/log/Xorg.0.log. See if it actually completed initialization or did it emit errors. See if your monitor has some diag info? Or is this a laptop?

Likely you should try running without xorg.conf config files for now, unless you're changing a specific value, it could cause more problems.
