Hi

I just finished installing Gentoo (from command line - no GUI/Console installer) on my old machine.
Everything if fine, but since I'm a total linux nood - I dont even know how to configure X11.
Thing is that my old machine is headless - no monitor/keyboard/mouse, etc. I want to use it as a file/web server. Also I want to be able to connect it not only from console. For that I have chosen thightvnc server/client.

Now I found that I'm missing /etc/X11/xorg.conf at all, so I can not add vnc module to it, as it is said on wiki.

So what should I know about X? how to create xorg.conf? Anything to begin with and at least make vnc running properly

Thanks
Anton
