I get complaints without an xorg.conf as well
Motivated by this thread, I took another crack at this, and it seems to work (though boot is obviously notably slower using FB and a splash)

I had to build the i915 DRM module into my kernel You will likely need something different - I noticed it griping about the i915 module before; I use an:

Code:

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Int
egrated Graphics Controller (rev 09) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])
   Subsystem: Acer Incorporated [ALI] Device 0260
   Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 30
   Memory at d0000000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=4M]
   Memory at c0000000 (64-bit, prefetchable) [size=256M]
   I/O ports at 60f0 [size=8]
   Capabilities: [90] Message Signalled Interrupts: Mask- 64bit- Count=1/1
Enable+
   Capabilities: [d0] Power Management version 3


So I rebooted with the new kernel (though really, since it's a module, it shouldnt have been necessary), then I did

Code:

X --configure


which generated an xorg.conf
I tested this to make sure X would load via X --config
It worked, so I moved xorg.conf to /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Tried a 'startx', which took me into Gnome as per /etc/rc.conf
I use Enlightenment, so I exited, logged on as my normal user, and again did a 'startx'

It worked, took me into Enlightenment
I rebooted, and though slower to boot, all worked without issue.

NOW, regarding the 'linuxrc', I thought that was something associated with an initramfs?
Maybe it's referring to an .xinitrc file in your user's home directory?

I don't get that complaint from mine, because as part of getting Enlightenment to work, I created /home/meat/.xinitrc (my username being 'meat')

If that's what it's complaining about, I wouldn't worry about it - if you don't have an .xinitrc, the X session it uses will be derived from /etc/rc.conf

OK...emerge -av xorg-x11 acpi acpid xf86-video-radeonhd && rc-update add acpid default. After that, retry.

Blessed be!

I haven't got a radeon hd card I have a radeon xpress 200M so I need to use the xf86-video-ati driver I think but It can't hurt to have the radeonhd driver on my computer

I didn't emerge the radeonhd drivers but I emerged acpi and acpid and without an xorg.conf the egrep command still returns all the font errors and and falling back to old probe method errors and start x still complains about framebuffers.

When I add the quiet option to the kernel I get micocode no support for this CPU vendor and It still boots but what is microcode.

Without the quiet option it prints LOADS of random gunk to fast for me to read then boots. but I am still concerned with the performence of my graphics card and am unable to use propriitory drivers so I am stuck there to

I am no ATI expert. I have one machine with an ATI, and it sits headless practicing to be a web server. So yes, on this part, you will need other assistance. I'm sure someone will happen along with the rest of the puzzle pieces.

Blessed be!
