I dont know what iam doing wrong, Ive followed the step by step procedure on instaling the xorg, and yet i still am unable to start it. No compilation error whatsoever, it just that everytime i run startx .. it dies with this message ...
Fatal server error:
Module load failure
I have unmerge xfree, emerge xorg-x11, did the opengl update, did the env-update, did the xorgcfg... hell, i have even deleted the /etc/X11 and /usr/X11R6 directory but iam still getting the goddamn module load failure 
anyone could maybe enlightened me on this one.. ive switched back to xfree at the moment |

have you copied :
| Code: | | cp /etc/X11/XF86Config /etc/X11/xorg.conf |

You still need your /usr/X11R6 directory - xorg installs there as well.
Make sure that your xorg.conf modules path reflects the module path:
| Code: | | ModulePath "/usr/X11R6/lib/modules" |
Could you post your xorg.conf? |

Looks like you commented out the modules path.
And I seeing this correctly?
| Code: | | # ModulePath "/usr/X11R6/lib/modules" |

yep i commented out that line, it was like that when i was running xfree. My xorg.conf is an exact copy of my previous XF86Config, except updating the font path to /usr/share/fonts...
I have another machine that i converted from xfree to xorg with the same step as i took on my machine and it worked 
Im confused now..  |
